326101 2005-02-18 04:19:00 to start Outlook checking for emails.Is there any way to set Outlook up, when starting, to check for emails?This is my first use of Outlook.OE used to when started. And I have been on MS site and looked at options in the program.
Using Outlook 2003 on XP Pro. Thanks.

326102 2005-02-18 08:44:00 For starters, do you have "Launch email application after processing" ticked in Mailwasher Tools>Options>General?

I can't recall the setting for the next step (automatic download) but if nobody else posts it sooner I'll have a look tomorrow.

326103 2005-02-18 09:06:00 Hi Billy.Yes,after clicking "Process mail" in Mailwasher,it opens Outlook.Which just sits there.I have to click on send/receive to kick it into gear.Which it then does.It's just that when OExpress opened on the old pc,it started trying to send/receive straight away.Also if I open Outlook/Mailwasher/firefox, the dial up screen doesn't appear ,so have to go online first.Perhaps it's a security thing with XP?

326104 2005-02-18 09:10:00 Use spampal. Once configured it opens up without pressing send/receive. And once u make an email rule tell it to do whatever. Even delete spam from the isp server, and u wont see it. Speedy Gonzales (78)
326105 2005-02-18 09:17:00 Look in Outlook tools options for checking email on startup. wotz (335)
326106 2005-02-18 09:36:00 Found my settings, in Outlook>Tools>Options I have mail delivery set to check every minute. I think that may be as close as you can get to an instant no-click download.

326108 2005-02-18 18:55:00 Thanks for your replies.I think that's the only option Billy.I actually prefer Outlook not to check while open,that's what mailwasher is for!All I have to do now is tell my wife "that's how it now works". She's a bit freeked out with this new pc! Neil McC (178)

The program in question was Outlook, not Outlook Express drc. Neil previously used OE but has changed to Outlook with a new computer.
