I am using Windows XP and office 2007 SP1.



I prefer my emails to sit in my Outbox for 5 minutes before they are sent. This allows me to go back and make changes if necessary. I am sure we have all sent emails that we later regretted. I find this setting helps minimise such situations.

Problem is that, since upgrading to Outlook 2007, my scheduled send/receives no longer work. My emails just permanently sit in my Outbox (or until I manually hit Send/Receive).

I found this suggested solution on another forum, but it did not work for me.

"With Outlook closed, try deleting the file > %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\mailprofile.SRS (where "mailprofile" matches the > name of your mail profile) and then trying again."

I adapted this to Windows XP, but it didn't work:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.srs

Deleting the .srs file reset my default scheduled send/receive to every 30mins, but if I set it back to 5mins and wait, nothing happens.

Does anyone else have any suggestions please?!

Thanks!

Just to confirm, are you performing the steps below to setup the scheduled send/receive?

Thanks Shawn.

I had set all those settings correctly already, as I had in the past with Outlook 2003. However, your suggestion prompted me to delve a bit deeper. I thought I had tried this before, but we all know where assumptions get us.

Anyway, I fixed the problem by going to:

• Tools > Options > Mail Setup > Send/Receive
• I selected my "All Accounts" and hit "Edit"
• Ticked "Include the selected account in this group"

That did the trick. Don't know why it wasn't selected to begin with - perhaps an artifact of the migration from Outlook 2003 to 2007...

Thanks
