Default Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Too Often

Roady, the send/receive notification pops up on the bottom of the Outlook
window when it runs. I don't know if mail is actually being downloaded in
that interval, since I don't get enough mail to tell.

I appreciate the tutorial you linked to for creating profiles. I have not
been to that site for a long time, so will browse through the FAQs, etc.

I thought I might have to create a new profile to resolve this, but don't
really understand what that changes.
1. If I point that profile to my current .pst, will I lose any calendar,
mail, or contacts?
2. Will my current Outlook settings revert to default settings for that
profile?
3. I have an AT&T wireless account, and also pull Hotmail into Outlook with
Outlook Connector. Will I need to reinstall Connector under the new
profile, if I remove the original profile?

Thanks for your patience,
Jim

Which method of verifying the send/receive interval are you using?
Are new mails actually being downloaded every minute?

If you create a new mail profile, does it still happen then?

Roady, I closed Outlook, renamed both .srs files to .old and rebooted.
When I opened Outlook, it checked mail as usual. It also checked again
about 60 second later. It appears that forcing a new .srs file did not
fix the problem.

Locate the srs-file for your mail profile and rename it to .old when
Outlook is closed. This will reset your send/receive settings.

I started Outlook in safe mode, and it still sends/receives every 60
seconds or so.

After turning both off, shutting down Outlook, rebooting the PC and
restarting Outlook, without changing any thing, are you saying it
still auto sends / receives?
If so, and this shouldn't have any impact, if you restart Outlook
using the safe switch, does the problem continue.
StartRun........outlook.exe /safe
(note space between exe /)

DL, I turned off send/receive on startup. I also turned off auto
send/receive, and then applied. After the reboot, I started Outlook.
It still checks for new mail every 55-60 seconds.

If you turn off auto send / receive, does it stop?

If so and you shutdown outlook, reboot the PC, then open Outlook and
reset auto send / receive, is it now ok?

This is a POP3 account, home computer, no networks.

Which mail account type are you using?
This is normal behavior when connecting to an Exchange server.

I have Outlook 2007 scheduled to send/receive All Accounts every
10 minutes; however, it has been checking for new mail every
50-60 seconds. I changed the check frequency to 5 minutes, and
then 15 minutes, but the problem persists. I use MSE and Windows
Firewall with standard settings on this Windows 7 64-bit system.
Outlook 2007 is working properly in all other respects. How can
I fix this problem?
