Outlook 2007 automatic send, doesn't

[JGreg7]

I have my Outlook 2007 set to do a send / receive every 10 minutes. However
it does not. Mail will sit in my outbox for hours if I do not send / receive
manually.

The send / receive works normally everytime I click the button or press F9,
but I get busy and I forget to check the mail.

Is there any way to fix this? I have not been able to find this problem or
solution described anywhere.

(I do not want to leave it set to continuous since frequently we get a
string of e-mails that comes in every few seconds and is distracting)

It is a corporate microsoft exchange system. It worked for a while, but then
stopped working.

The continuous setting = Tools>Options>Mail Setup>Send/Receive [check box
"send immediately when connected"]

I have noticed that checking this box also causes the e-mail to be delivered
continuously as well (i.e. the instant it is sent.). I do not know if thats
how it is supposed to work, but that is what it does.

I prefer to get my e-mail in "chunks" so I can stop what I am doing and see
if there is anything important. Receiving it continuously usually steals the
window focus when I am right in the middle of something.

What type of email account do you have?

What do you mean by "I do not want to leave it set to continuous" ?

When Exchange is involved, the Send/Receive settings don't play much of a
role. Outlook and Exchange communicate with each other on their own
schedules. Send/Receive with Outlook does not steal focus for any of the
thousands of Outlook users where I work who also use Exchange. I think it's a
local issue for you.

Thank you for your response.

I guess this is just another feature that Outlook 2003 performed well, but
Outlook 2007 fails to accomplish.

Worked the same way in Outlook 2003.
