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.
If the send/receive status displays, that's a fairly sure indication that a
send/receive is being performed.
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?
No. You will, however, lose the autocompletion cache, since that's
profile-specific, and if you reference a POP mailbox in the Inbox of which
you've left messages you've downloaded before, you'll get a redownload of all
those old messages. Keep in mind, too that when you re-add any POP account,
the default is to delete downloaded messages so you'll have to remember to
enable leaving copies on the server, if that's what you had before, prior to
starting Outlook.
2. Will my current Outlook settings revert to default settings for that
profile?
Depends on the settings, but many will.
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?
You won't need to reinstall the connector, since it's already installed (the
Toolbar should still contain the "Outlook Connector" menu), but you will need
to readd the Hotmail account.
