Outlook 2002 & Hotmail problem

I am using Outlook 2002 on a WIN XP Home system. Ever since I added my Hotmail account to Outlook (as a second account after my POP3 account) Outlook will not automatically send or receive mail, I have to manually invoke the send/receive option.
I've checked my account settings and I have it set to check for new mail every 2 minutes.
I have used Outlook 2002 for 6 months with no problems until I added my Hotmail account.

I set up the Hotmail account by going to Tools->Email Accounts-> Add a New Email Account and following the instructions.

Both my POP3 and my Hotmail accounts can send and receive mail just fine, Outlook just never initiates the action. As long as I manually do it everything is fine.

I have checked the Tools->Send/Receive settings->Define Send/Receive Groups and the box for 'Schedule an automatic Send/Receive every five minutes" is checked.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
