Outlook 2000 internet mode, timed mail delivery

L

Lowell

I have MS Outlook 2000 internet mode. At one point I selected from a
dropdown box
which mail accounts to use when automatically receiving mail. I have
since deleted that account. I have other mail accounts but I have to
send/receive them manually. Does anybody know where to find the
dropdown box for selecting which accounts are used?

I already answered your question. Send/Receive groups did not appear until
Outlook 2002. In Outlook 2000, automatic polling includes all accounts. You
configure it here:
Tools menu > Options > Mail Delivery tab > Check mail every X minutes

I thought it was an arrow on the Send button.

Russ, Thank you for your reply, If you answered I didn't see it. My
Outlook about box says: Outlook 2000 SP3. I've never seen 2002. I
don't know when different options were released. All I know is that
I've seen that dropdown box and I only checked one mail account. Now I
need to select a different account and can't find the dropdown box.
When it sends/receives timed or when I press just the send/receive
button it goes through the motions but the name of an account doesn't
appear while performing the action.

Brian, the arrow in the tool/send-receive button manually selects which
account to get mail from. Some where there's a dropdown box to put
checks by accouts for timed delevery and when you just press the tool
bar button.

What I keep trying to tell you is that Outlook 2000 does not have that
feature. Automatic Send/Receive will apply to all accounts. You cannot
select which accounts to poll. That ability did not appear in Outlook until
version 2002 and higher.

I wasn't speaking of the Send/Receive button. I said "Send" button. That's
on the Compose window toolbar.
Some where there's a dropdown box to
put checks by accouts for timed delevery and when you just press the
tool bar button.

Russ already answered this part.

Brian, I know about that box also. That, too, is a manual choice
dialog menu. I know about all that stuff. The box I'm talking about
only appeared one, I don't know where it came from, and it had boxes to
check so when a timed mail action took place it looked for mail for the
accounts I had checked in that box. Obviously you and Russ have no
clue what I'm talking about. Can you email me directly at:
(e-mail address removed)
I really need to find the answer to this because I use Outlook to check
for insurance lead mailed to me and it doesn't check any accounts.

Russ, obviously it was on Outlook 2000, internet mode, because I choose
an account for it to check in a timed action. I know about all the
manual way to check accounts. That's not the point. I need it to
automatically check accounts and because I checked one that doesn't
exist anymore it doesn't check anything. Please email me directly.

thank you, Lowell

The option for that is where I told you. Did you select it?
