Receving emails not immediate despite settings?

[ritzput]

Using Vista Home Premium with Office 2007.

Been about 1 month since i've been using Vista and i have tried setting all
options to receive emails so when outlook is opened after computer sleeps,
all my emails are already downloaded.

I keep my computer on all the time and have settings to sleep after 2 hours.
I always keep outlook open as well, so when in the morning when i first use
it and it awakes, i click on the outlook icon on bottom toolbar (outlook has
been open) it takes several seconds for send/receive to activate and only
then do emails download.

have settings at:
tools/options/mail setup/send.receive/ checked "send immediately when
connected" and checked "schedule auto send/rec every 1 minute".
OUTLOOK OFFLINE=- checked: include group send/receive
schedule auto send/receive
every 1 minute

When i had XP with same settings, whenever i opened outlook already running
on toolbar, messages were already in the inbox.

Any suggestions or is this another Vista glitch?

Nothing can run on the computer while it is in sleep mode.

have settings at:
tools/options/mail setup/send.receive/ checked "send immediately when
connected" and checked "schedule auto send/rec every 1 minute".
OUTLOOK OFFLINE=- checked: include group send/receive
schedule auto send/receive
every 1 minute

Way, WAY too short. The send/receive interval shouldn't be any less than
about ten minutes.

When i had XP with same settings, whenever i opened outlook already
running on toolbar, messages were already in the inbox.

I'll bet you didn't sleep the PC when it was running XP.
