Outlook will not send/receive automatically

[Guest]

I am using Outlook '02 and have followed the advice of all of the
posts...have checked the boxes, asked for an autocheck every 2 minutes, etc -
still nada. Any other secrets?

I'd at least start with a realistic polling interval of 10 minutes or more.
Other reasons it may not work:
1. While exiting Outlook, you inadvertently set your profile to Work Offline
(this option is immediately above the Exit command in the File menu).
2. You have a damaged Send/Receive Group as documented here:

3. You have overridden your Send/Receive Group settings as documented here:

4. Your mail account settings are corrupt. Recreate your mail account from
scratch.
5. Firewall software is blocking your transmission. Disable your Firewall
temporarily to see if automatic polling is restored.
