Microsoft Outlook

[TheeOx]

Hi all,
I have installed Microsoft Outlook and am now using it instead of Outlook Express. I have made MO the default email.
However, when I click on to MO, no emails come thru unless I click on 'Send/Receive' button.
I dont have to do this s at work when I use MO, so Im wondering if theres a way to make it so as soon s I click onto MO, the emails will automatically come up and I dont have to click the 'Send/Receive' button..Any suggestions?

Thanks
Thee ;D

At work you are probably connected to an Exchange server that uses SMTP which forces email to the server: Exchange then processes the incoming mail and forces it out to users.

At home you are probably using POP3, so you have to somehow tell Outlook to send/receive email. If you look under Tools, Options, Mail Setup, you will find settings to make Outlook send/receive every xx minutes.

But unlike with SMTP, POP3 won't be able to receive emails 'instantly', only at the intervals set.
