Default Is it possible to set Outlook to receive when no longer minimized/hidden?

I use MailWasher to filter the spam from several accounts. (It works
really well, by the way...)

When I am ready, I use Mailwasher's "Process Mail" button. This deletes
the spam from the email servers, and opens Outlook for me or, more
commonly, un-minimizes (or unhides) Outlook.

In Outlook, I have to manually press the send/receive button to download
the email messages from my servers.

Is there any way to have Outlook automatically send/receive when it is un-
hidden? I know it's possible to have Outlook automatically send/receive
when it first starts up, but I don't want to close Outlook every time I am
finished dealing with my email, I'd rather just keep it hidden among the
little icons in the system tray at the bottom of the screen near the clock.

It is not practical for me to schedule automatic send/receives because that
would conflict with MailWasher.

I use Outlook as part of Office 2003 and check several different types of
accounts.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
