Automatic Send/Receive

[ac]

Automatic send/receive is set to 5 minutes and it succesfully receives email
but does not send it unless I click the "send/receive" button.

Also when new emails arrive I cannot mark the top one "read" until I
select another email then go back to the top one.

Thanks.

Set a realistic interval. 15 minutes is the usual minimum.

Why would it work for receiving but not sending email? 5 minutes works from
all other PCs.

Also when new emails arrive I cannot mark the top one "read" until I
select another email then go back to the top one

Thanks.

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.

The only change is that I have migrated from one PC to a newer one. As far as
I can tell, none of the reasons below would explain why Outlook is
automatically receiving but not automatically sending email.

The solution was pretty simple--"Disable Scheduled Send/Receive" (several
levels under Tools menu) was checked. That seemed to fix it (though I'm not
sure why it was receiving email while it was checked)
