Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Too Often
 
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?

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?

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.

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 /)

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

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.

Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Too Often
 
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?
