Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Every 60 Seconds
in [General]
|
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 1 Jun 2010 07:55 I don't think mine is checking every minute as I use two accounts for test messages and it takes much longer for them to come in. (I have polling set to 10 min.) I'm not getting popups every minute as the accounts are remembering my password - however, if there is something goofy with the server, internet connection, or my password is wrong, I have gotten the password prompt in the past and its persistent in wanting to connect. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "John Nice" <johnDOTniceATbtinternetDOTcom> wrote in message news:r6KdnY4qndMARZ_RnZ2dnUVZ8kidnZ2d(a)bt.com... > >>I started a thread on this topic a couple of weeks ago, and thought I >>would >> summarize in a new thread since the problem persists. >> >> I use Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector for my primary POP3 and Hotmail >> accounts on Windows 7.

I, too, have a Hotmail account defined and do not notice the 60 second send/receive interval. I have my send/receive interval set to ten minutes. I'll pay attention this evening to see if I notice a more frequent poll. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
From: jekeesl on 1 Jun 2010 14:26 I got a note back from MS Outlook Support, and they said that it is normal for send/receive to check on short intervals with the MAPI account. That happens because the server is updating other Hotmail stuff (like calendar, etc.), and the server is controlling intervals. I had never noticed, though, that type of quick interval in previous years, and have been using Outlook Connector for a long time. I also thought it was interesting that I had 60 second intervals with Connector version 12, and 35 second intervals with Connector version 14. The Support person said the easy "fix" is to set up Hotmail as a POP3 account. I did see online that you can do so; however, that only downloads Hotmail to Outlook. It does not update any calendars or contacts, and does not even synchronize read and deleted messages. I'm not interested in that approach. My main concern was whether the frequent polling was normal, and whether it could cause problems. If you believe my Outlook Support contact, the frequent polling is standard, per server synchronization settings. If that is true, then I guess I'll leave it along. Thanks, all, for your help.

From: Tom Willett on 1 Jun 2010 15:06 It appears that you never in the past told us you had an IMAP account. See what happens when you don't give full information? Yes, it's normal and won't hurt anything.

He said he was using the Connector in the very first post. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.slipstick.com/ "Tom Willett" <tom(a)youreadaisyifyoudo.com> wrote in message news:#Eq2a2bALHA.5464(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > It appears that you never in the past told us you had an IMAP account.
