[gui-talk] setting up outlook to get mail in the background

[Paul Henrichsen]

Hi, Jim. I found that if I checked the first box and set it for 30 minutes,
it would work, but only if I left outlook running and minimized it.
Otherwise, not.

In Outlook 2007, go to Tools, Options, then to the Mail Setup tab, then 
click on the Sennd Recieve button.
Here is where you can set the frequency as to how often Outlook checks for 
mail.
