The send/receive interval should be nothing less than 10 minutes. The myth of having Outlook check for mail every minute or less is that it will step on itself since the act of polling the server, completing the handshake, etc. will take more than 30 seconds. Eventually it will damage your send/receive settings and can corrupt your mail profile.
Besides, can you actually read all email received every 30 seconds?
