I am not using any commandline switches with outlook. I am using McAfee
virus, I am beginning to suspect that. I am running Offince 2003 on XP Pro on
a high speed isp using pop3 mail server. I want to leave my Outlook on and
receice mail as I get it. Currently, I can not receive mail unless I hit
'send/receive'. Any ideas?
 
Did you configure an automatic Send/Receive interval?
Tools > Options > Mail Setup > Send/Receive...
Do not set it for less than 10 minutes.
 
That did it, thanks a million. Its often the little things we overlook.

I am having this problem with Outlook 2003 with Windows XP. When I test my
email accounts (3 in all) with my ISP server , I get the nice green check
marks that the send and receive to POP and SMTP are OK and a test message is
sent to my ISP . ....but Outlook 2003 will not send or receive an email. The
emails just sit there and when I hit send/receive nothing happens and no
error messages. I know the test email was sent Ok because I see it when I
check on a different computer.

I have tried everything including reinstallng Outlook 2003 (Office 2003),
disabling my Norton 360, running in safe mode, changing every setting
possible, and still messages sit in the outbox. Before all the problems, I
did have to do a repair on Windows XP because of a boot up problem with
Windows.

About ready to give up on Outlook 2003 and just starting using my ISP
provider (Cox) for getting emails...because that is where I can actually see
the test messges were sent.

Any suggestions?
