Some Outlook users have to push Send/Receive to send or get mail.

I am having trouble with certain machines on our network. We are running
Windows 2000 SBS and Outlook 2002 and 2003. On a couple of our Outlook 2003
machines, the users are no longer sending and receiving email instantaneously
like they used to. It is strange because the rest of us, some of us running
Outlook 2002 and some on 2003, haven`t noticed any difference, and are able to
receive email messages within seconds of them being sent. I`m not sure if it
means anything, but it seems that it is only laptops that are having this
problem, and they are all authenticated to the network. Everyone was working
fine until a few days ago. Any ideas?

Well, I figured out what the problem was. For some reason, they were working
offline. I clicked where it says "Working Offline" in the lower right hand
corner of the Outlook window, and unchecked the option, and it now says
"Connected" and all is well.
