Can't Receive Emails Automatically?

Mar 13, 2010 10:49PM PST

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can receive my emails automatically in Office 2007 Outlook? When I open Outlook, I have to go to Send/Receive then click on Send/Receive All in order to receive my email. I would like to receive it automatically upon opening Outlook. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Thanks in advance, Ray
PS: I miss Outlook Express......

In Outlook 2007 look under your Account settings for an option to download emails automatically.

I don't use Outlook 2007.

However I found this;
Google books - How to do everything in Outlook 2007.

You will need to scroll down to Page 80. What I see is that Outlook 2007 "automatically creates a Send/Receive group named "All Accounts", which, not surprisingly, contains all your accounts. The All Accounts group holds one set of default settings for when your computer is online, and another for when it is offline. You can adjust these settings..."

On the Outlook menu bar click Tools > Send/Receive > Send/Receive Settings > Define Send/Receive Groups.

The link will take you on from there.

I hope that helps.
