Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Too Often
in [General]

Next: Signature in Outlook
From: jekeesl on 26 May 2010 08:56 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?

No. You will, however, lose the autocompletion cache, since that's profile-specific, and if you reference a POP mailbox in the Inbox of which you've left messages you've downloaded before, you'll get a redownload of all those old messages. Keep in mind, too that when you re-add any POP account, the default is to delete downloaded messages so you'll have to remember to enable leaving copies on the server, if that's what you had before, prior to starting Outlook. > 2.

You won't need to reinstall the connector, since it's already installed (the Toolbar should still contain the "Outlook Connector" menu), but you will need to readd the Hotmail account. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
From: jekeesl on 26 May 2010 18:02 Thanks for your help Brian. The loss of Autocomplete isn't an issue, because I can rebuild that by dumping (ctrl+A) all of my address book into a new e-mail message. Even if I don't send it, that should rebuild Autocomplete. However, since there are some minor hassles with rebuilding and repairing, I think I'll wait and see if any more significant problems occur before changing profiles. Thank you (plus DL and Roady) for providing such good feedback on options.

From: Russ Valentine on 27 May 2010 06:05 You should also be aware that Outlook will appear to poll every minute if you have added the Fax Transport to your profile. -- Russ Valentine "jekeesl" <jekeesl(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:3CC8575E-9285-4ACD-962E-50B0EF6F88AA(a)microsoft.com... > Thanks for your help Brian.

Russ, I haven't activated Fax Transport on this system. Is there any chance that this problem could be caused by the Outlook.pst file? If so, would it be repairable with the scanpst.exe utility?
