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]
From: jekeesl on 27 May 2010 12:04 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.
From: jekeesl on 27 May 2010 14:11 Sigh - I guess that convinces me that I need to set up new profile. Those linked instructions from earlier were pretty clear, so I don't expect 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?
