Outlook 2003 does not check for mail

Hi,

I've noticed messages from people who can't stop Outlook from checking for
mail. My problem is just the opposite, Outlook 2003 does not check for mail
unless I manual click on Send/Receive. It does not automatically check for
mail on startup or once it's opened.

"Send and Receive immediately when connectected" is checked in Options/Mail
Setup.
(By the way, why can't Outlook have separate controls for Send and Receive
to give user maximum control?)

How can I have Outlook 2003 automatically check for mail?

Thank you.

You already have just about maximum control;

You can set the interval to check here
Tools-> Options-> tab Mail Setup-> button Send Receive

You can define send/receive groups there as well. Press the button Edit to
get your "maximum control"

Is there a firewall between the users and the mail server?
 
Yes, I use Zone Alarm, but Outlook 2003 has permission to send and receive.
There is no problem sending and receiving messages by clicking on the
Send/Receive button. It just doesn't receive mail automatically.

I also use Norton Anti-Virus 2003. I see from messages here that there are
some compatibility issues with NAV and Outlook.
