In Outlook, I have to manually press the send/receive button to

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.

You have two choices with Outlook: schedule an automatic send/receive
or click send/receive when you want. Unless it can be done with code
(and I wouldn't know how), you can't have Outlook perform a
send/receive when the window is restored.

NB: it is the scheduling of an automatic send/receive that causes
Outlook to perform a send/receive at startup.

Thanks for the response. You've confirmed my suspicions. Oh well, it's
not much of a bother to hit send/receive.
