MS Outlook: How to a specify different mail check interval ? every 5 min for exchange, and every 30 min for gmail imap?

Question

Outlook from time to time makes an operation 'Send and receive' This can be sometimes quite slow and whole outlook hangs while this is done.

1. Is is possible to set different intervals for different mail accounts (if user has multiple accounts configured within Outlook, e.g., main Exchange account and one or more IMAP accounts)

2. If yes (or even if only for some (e.g., IMAP accounts), where in the settings it can be configured? (e.g., Outlook 2007)

Answer 1

Ok i will teach you this on the Microsoft Outlook 2010..

You have to click File > Options > Advanced > Then look for Send/Receive and click on the right button for more options..

There you can create many groups with selected accounts, and then select settings like time interval for checking new emails, download sizes, etc. Its a friendly interface.

Good luck, any problems report with an reply
