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? http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "jekeesl" wrote in message ...

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?

... 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. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Thanks for your help Brian. The loss of Autocomplete isn't an issue,
because I can rebuild that by dumping (ctrl+A) all of my address book into a new e-mail message. Even if I don't send it, that should rebuild Autocomplete. However, since there are some minor hassles with rebuilding and repairing, I think I'll wait and see if any more significant problems occur before changing profiles. Thank you (plus DL and Roady) for providing such good feedback on options. "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... "jekeesl" wrote in message ...

You should also be aware that Outlook will appear to poll every minute if
you have added the Fax Transport to your profile. -- Russ Valentine "jekeesl" wrote in message ... Thanks for your help Brian.

Russ, I haven't activated Fax Transport on this system. Is there any chance
that this problem could be caused by the Outlook.pst file? If so, would it be repairable with the scanpst.exe utility? "Russ Valentine" wrote in message ...

There's nothing in the PST itself that would cause Outlook to initiate a send/receive at any time, let alone every minute. That said, a scanpst run periodically can't hurt for maintenance purposes. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
