How to adjust auto Send/Receive time in Outlook?

As we know, Microsoft Outlook always automatically schedule a send/receive every 30 minutes. However, the default send/receive interval may not meet some Outlook users’ need, for example they require Microsoft Outlook scheduling automatically send/receive every 10 minutes, or every hour, etc. In this article, I will introduce a way to adjust auto send/receive time or interval in Microsoft Outlook.

The following steps will walk you through adjusting automatic send/receive time or interval in Microsoft Outlook.

Step 1: Click the Send/Receive Groups > Define Send/Receive Groups on the Send / Receive tab.

Note: In Outlook 2007, you can click the Tools > Send/Receive > Send/receive Settings > Define Send/Receive Groups.

Step 2: In the Send/Receive Groups dialog box,
