My computer died so I am now using my husbands old one.  I'm usually pretty good at setting everything up, but for some reason my email won't check automatically every few minutes.  I have to manually press the send/receive button to check my email.  I've looked everywhere, where is that option hidden??  Anyone know??  It's driving me nuts not getting my email instantly.

http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/et_send_receive.htm To have Outlook look for and retrieve new messages automatically on a schedule:
  • Select Tools | Send/Receive | Send/Receive Settings | Define Send/Receive Groups from the menu in Outlook.
  • Highlight the All Accounts group.
  • Make sure Schedule an automatic send/receive every ___ minutes. is checked under Setting for group "All Accounts".
    • Typically, you want the same setting unchecked under When Outlook is Offline.
  • Enter the desired interval for automatic mail retrieval.
  • Click Close.

Here is a litte something I thought would fit in with this topic.  My mom sent it to me, I laughed so hard, I thought it was cute.

 

Ladies in a Sauna
 
THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.
 
SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED. THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.
 
A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, 'THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.'
 
THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH. NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM. SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.
 
THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.
THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID.........WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT....
 
I'M GETTING A FAX!!
