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?

This thread caused me to check my O2007 polling rate: every 60 seconds. I
don't use the Hotmail account much (it's nearly all spam in my case) so I
deleted it from the accounts list.
