Receiving Email messages at startup
 

I have OE se to recieve my messages at startup. This worked fine until
recently. Now I have to click Sent/Recv to get my Email. I keep trying to
reset it by goint to tools/options and checking "send and recieve messages at
startup. It may work the next time I boot up then quit. When I go back to
options and check the check mark in the check box has disappeared. I keep
resetting it but it won't stay on. How can I fix this? I am running Windows
XP w/SP3. Incidently OE is very slow starting up.
