  Question
  Outlook 2003 does not send/receive when starting up. I have boxes ticked for
send/receive at 5 min intervals but when I startup, I have to manually press
send/receive to get anything. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Jacqui

  Answer
  Outlook will poll on startup whenever you have an automatic polling interval
set. 5 minutes is far too short.
It is difficult to determine why automatic polling is failing when you do
not post your mail account type, connection type and polling settings. If
automatic polling once worked and now fails, you also need to examine what
changes were made to your setup before automatic polling stopped working.

In general, here are the reasons automatic polling might fail in Outlook:
1. You have created an unrealistic polling interval. Many users set their
polling interval to 1 minute thinking they will be downloading mail
continuously as it arrives. Such settings are not recommended. They put an
unnecessary strain on mail servers and can create conflicting polling
requests that can damage your Send/Receive Group or even your account
settings. 10 minutes is the recommended minimum.
2. While exiting Outlook, you inadvertently set your profile to Work Offline
(this option is immediately above the Exit command in the File menu).
3. You have a damaged Send/Receive Group as documented here:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q312/3/36.asp
4. You have overridden your Send/Receive Group settings as documented here:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q320/8/36.asp
5. Your mail account settings are corrupt. Recreate your mail account from
scratch.
6. Firewall software is blocking your transmission. Disable your Firewall
temporarily to see if automatic polling is restored.
7. Windows XPSP2 changes to RPC, but only if running against Exchange
Server. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883606

And if you'd bothered to look at the HUNDREDS of posts in the last two days
you would have found the answer.

Not enough information to say for sure. What version of Outlook and what type
of account?
