MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / November 2006Thank You Microsoft Outlook 2007
Microsoft! You fixed one of my pet peeves about Outlook 2003 and earlier which was a delayed polling of mail (polled well after program startup unless I manually clicked on send/receive) and this is fixed in Outlook 2007! Thank you very much! Nospam > Microsoft!

My Outlook 2003 polls as soon as I start it.(As did 2002 and 2000) Did you set a polling time in Send/Receive settings? Gordon, I should have made it more clear - POP3 Mail polling was not instantaneous in Outlook 2003 and earlier despite the setting being set. I even spoke with the Outlook program manager in Redmond about this back in 2002 and it was set that way by design to delay the poll for 30 seconds. Nospam >> Microsoft!

I've just opened Outlook 2003, TEN seconds between clicking the icon and the finish of polling 4 POP accounts, all on different servers. It's NOT set to a 30 second delay by design. The "program manager"s comments indicates yet again that MS know squat about their own programs.... Ditto for me and 3 POP3 accts on 2003... actually took about 6 seconds due to no messages... ;-) > Ditto for me and 3 POP3 accts on 2003... actually took about 6 seconds > due to no messages... ;-) So basically, the OP has shelled out for Office 2007 for no reason..... > So basically, the OP has shelled out for Office 2007 for no > reason..... Well, at least not for this particular reason.  SignatureBrian Tillman He got some nice new ribbons :) I agree. Automatic polling works the same in all versions. There is no "built in" delay in any version.
