Is it that you are not receiving new emails without clicking the send and receive button manually ? If so, this should solve your concern, please visit the below topic - second post by Jeniffer Zhan http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ar/outlook/thread/d12c84cc-bec1-4faf-8ed3-03afd4b578a6 For ease of reference I am quoting her post below You can set up Outlook to check for new e-mail messages at intervals of one minute to 1,440 minutes (one day). On the Send/Receive menu, point to Send/Receive Groups, and then click Define Send/Receive Groups. Select the group that contains the e-mail account that you want to regularly check for messages. Under Setting for group "group name", select the Schedule an automatic send/receive every x minutes check box. Enter a number from 1 to 1440 in the minutes box. Click Close. On the Send/Receive menu, click Send/Receive All folders. If this doesnt help you, let me know more details on the same.
