Enable the option to schedule mail polling. You never mention WHICH
version of Outlook you are using. I have OL2002 and you configure
scheduled mail polling under Tools -> Send and Receive Settings ->
Define Send and Receive Groups.

Hi Dina,
If your Outlook is set up to check for e-mail when you start it, then check
again periodically, you may be interested in my answer to Brodiemac

If you need the settings for Outlook to automatically check for messages,
they are here:
In Outlook>Tools>Options>Mail Setup tab>Send/Receive button
Hope this helps,
ZILLA

Thanks....using your assist I was able to find the box to check to allow
messages to come thru. It is a timed event, so I set it for the shortest
allowed time period which was 1 minute. Thanks again. DinaOne

One minute for a poll interval is NOT a good idea. Set it for a minimum
of 5 minutes. You can run into problems, like getting duplicated
incoming messages, because their first mail poll hasn't completed by the
time the next one begins. Do you get such a huge flood of e-mails
within 1 minute and which you can manage to review within that 1 minute
that you really need to have such an overly short mail poll interval?

Thanks for the advise. I will reset to an increased period.
