Outlook trigger

Hi There :)

I believe that hitting the Send/Recieve button in Outlook 2000 means that Outlook syncronize itself with Exchange or something? But can Outlook or Exchange be configured so that Outlook tells Exchange when to recieve and send mail, so that you dont have to wait the usual 15 min.?

Yes i now that. But does that trigger Exchange to recieve mail from host?

sunray_2003

what do you mean trigger from host..

your outlook shud be able to get email from exchange server at regular times and also send email at regular times

Yes but the exchange server get the mails from somewhere. When i send a hotmail to the computer the exchange server has to get the mail from a server.

when you send from hotmail , i am sure the exchange server should get the email immediately
it is only since you use outlook , you can determine when to receive an email depending on the automatic receive timing

But that doesnt work when you use a POP3 connector right? Then you have to wait the 15 minutes?

sunray_2003

have to research on that as i have not worked on pop3 connector yet

sunray_2003

that 15 mins looks hardcoded and by design

I thought so. Then how do you get around the 15 min limit?
