I started a thread on this topic a couple of weeks ago, and thought I
would summarize in a new thread since the problem persists.

I use Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector for my primary POP3 and
Hotmail accounts on Windows 7. All works well, except that Outlook
checks for mail about once per minute. I do not have Fax Transport
activated for my mail profile. Several people posted possible fixes as
follows:

* Rebooted and started Outlook. Reset Outlook's Auto-send period to
every 30 minutes.
* Opened Outlook using safe switch via Start, Run, "outlook.exe /safe".
* Shut down Outlook, located the srs-files for my mail profile and
renamed them to .old.
* Created a new Outlook mail profile and set up the POP3 and Hotmail
accounts for that profile.

None of the actions listed above affected the current problem. Outlook
continues to poll for new mail every 60 seconds or so. I was told that
if this behavior continues, it could corrupt my PST. Do you have any
ideas on the cause of this problem and a possible solution?

Thanks,
Jim

A quick DAGS shows a recurring theme with Hotmail and
Outlook Connector issues regarding polling times. Here's a
few things to try / check to see if the problem can be
characterized:
- temporarily disable Outlook Connector and see if the
frequency improves;
- temporarily remove the Hotmail account to see if the
frequency improves;
- try both combined.

If any of these are successful, then the subsequent
troubleshooting can be more focused.

If these make no difference, do you have other add-ins
running? BCM (business contact manager) has been mentioned
as a potential culprit.
