Outlook 2002 SP3 X/P Comcast POP3 SMTP have to manually send and receive
Hello All,
I have taken the bold step of setting up Outlook 2002 SP3 for XP to be my e-mail interface using the Comcast POP3 SMTP protocols. When I send e-mail, everything works just fine. If I want to see incoming mail, I find that I have to click on the Send/Receive button. Nothing is crashing or doing anything else wrong.
Is this normal? Can I make changes so that e-mail is received without manually using the send/receive button?
Please Advise,
Thank you.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back. I tried your suggestions and am still having to manually request a send and receive. "all Accounts" is selected for the group.

aasikolo, did you restart Outlook after making the setting change? Did you save the new setting?

Restarted - problem still exists.
I didn't opt for any add ons - I don't even know where they are in Outlook, so I guess the answer is, to the best of my knowledge, no add ons.
Thanks,

With Outlook open, go to Tools > Options > Mail Setup. Check "Send immediately when connected".
Click on the Send/Receive button on Mail Setup General tab. Make sure both options "Include this group in Send/Receive" are checked. Make sure that your account is included in the Group to receive mail.
Hope this helps!
