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?

Thanks for your patience,
Jim

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?

Roady, I closed Outlook, renamed both .srs files to .old and rebooted.
When I opened Outlook, it checked mail as usual. It also checked again
about 60 second later. It appears that forcing a new .srs file did not
fix the problem.

Locate the srs-file for your mail profile and rename it to .old when
Outlook is closed. This will reset your send/receive settings.

I started Outlook in safe mode, and it still sends/receives every 60
seconds or so.

After turning both off, shutting down Outlook, rebooting the PC and
restarting Outlook, without changing any thing, are you saying it
still auto sends / receives?
If so, and this shouldn't have any impact, if you restart Outlook
using the safe switch, does the problem continue.
StartRun........outlook.exe /safe
(note space between exe /)

DL, I turned off send/receive on startup. I also turned off auto
send/receive, and then applied. After the reboot, I started Outlook.
It still checks for new mail every 55-60 seconds.

If you turn off auto send / receive, does it stop?

If so and you shutdown outlook, reboot the PC, then open Outlook and
reset auto send / receive, is it now ok?

Which mail account type are you using?
This is normal behavior when connecting to an Exchange server.

I have Outlook 2007 scheduled to send/receive All Accounts every
10 minutes; however, it has been checking for new mail every
50-60 seconds. I changed the check frequency to 5 minutes, and
then 15 minutes, but the problem persists. I use MSE and Windows
Firewall with standard settings on this Windows 7 64-bit system.
Outlook 2007 is working properly in all other respects. How can
I fix this problem?

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.

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.

You should also be aware that Outlook will appear to poll every minute if
you have added the Fax Transport to your profile.

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?

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]

Okay. That too-frequent scan isn't hurting anything now, because my
connection is fast enough to get all mail in less than a minute. But if I
have any further issues, I'll definitely create a new profile as suggested
earlier.

Thanks for your help!

Having it check for mail every minute or less will most likely lead to
corruption of the profile as well as loss of the mail, including that
already stored in your inbox.

Sigh - I guess that convinces me that I need to set up new profile. Those

problems. Thanks everybody for your help.

I didn't know if I needed to start a new post, so will add to this thread.

I set up a new profile in Outlook, and it pulled my Hotmail and AT&T mail in
properly. However, Outlook still checks for mail every 60 seconds or so, in
spite of the settings for this profile (default settings) existing as
follows:

1. send/receive when connected
2. schedule automatic send/receive every 30 minutes

Since changing profiles did not stop Outlook from checking for mail too
often, I removed the test profile. Do you have further steps that may
resolve this issue?
