Hi everyone,


I recently upgraded my outlook express with outlook 2002. I run my computer and laptop with linkysys wireless router. My FIRST question is how do I go about receiving mail automatically with outlook? When I open outlook now the only way I can see new messages coming in is through the tools send and receive all. Nothing gets to me automatically like with OE. My second question is is there a way to synchronize outlook without a third party software to send and receive the same emails on both machines? I understand while using OE I left my messages on the server which is ok but I'm hoping for something better.

My thanks to all in advance
ChristianRe: first question: Go to Tools, Options, Mail Setup, and check the box for "Send immediately when connected."

I don't know the answer to your second question, but I BELIEVE you may find some pertinent info by opening Outlook Help and searching on "synchronize".For Outlook,
To change, how often it checks for new mail automatic,

Click Tools - Send / Recieve - Send/Recieve Settings (at the bottom of the drop-down list) then click on Define Send/Recieve Groups
Make sure "Schedule an automatic send/receive every _ minute is checked,
click on the up-down to the right of the number to change how often Outlook checks.
If you wish the same email to be available on both accounts, you really need to use IMAP to access your email rather than POP. Check with your ISP whether they PROVIDE an IMAP SERVICE. We can talk you through setting it up.
