Microsoft Outlook
I've been noticing a strange behavior from Outlook since I installed Windows 2000. I have the option enabled to send messages immediately when connected to the internet, yet they dont go through until I manual go into Outlook and click the send/recieve button.
I've been noticing a strange behavior from Outlook since I installed Windows 2000. I have the option enabled to "send messages immediately when connected to the internet," yet they dont go through until I manual go into Outlook and click the send/recieve button. I am using Outlook 2000. I used this same program in Windows ME and never had this problem, I hope somebody can tell me what the issue may be here because it's annoying a couple days later finding out that your message never went through and it's still sitting waiting to be sent.

Forgot to mention I'm on a cable modem and am always connected.
In outlook 2000 you need to go to the Tools menu then Options and under the Internet Email tab check the box that says "Check my local network connection(s) for email every xxx minutes" Fill the box "xxx" with the time interval you want. I set mine to 3 minutes.
That should do it. If you have it checked already then maybe change the interval. If THAT doesnt help then Im sorry, but I cant help ya there.
Good Luck

I should have to check that option to get it to send messages automatically when connected.
Now it seems to be working correctly again. Why do they have to make computers like this!!!!!!
Ya, but that's the generic explanation techs always give. To me it sounds more like an excuse.
