Allen, I am/was having the same problem and I think I found it. Tools,
Send/Receive, Send/Receive Settings and then "disable the send receive
scheduler" by clicking on it. When I restarted Outlook, the send/receive
automatically started.

Let me know,

Pat

I don't use the send/receive every XX minutes feature on either computer. I
prefer to have downloads start when I open the outlook program, and not have
to hit the send/receive button. There must be a setting in setup somewhere
that I have missed. But, I have went through computers sisde by side 3
times now. all my settings match, yet one downloads when I open the
program, w/out any other actions.

or some reasson or another, when I open outlook, the system does not
automaticly start receive/send as it does on my other computer the same
program from same windows/office program disks. I've compared all my
settings and they are the same.
