I have recently upgraded a user to a new machine. All the software is identical to her previous stuff. She had a PIII-600 256 MB of RAM and bumped up to a dual PIII-800 512 MB of RAM. RUnning w2k/sp2 and office2k sr1/sp2. We run exchange 5.5 sp4and the settings are to corporate/workgroup. She has her email stored in a .pst file locally. Since the switch her email is not being updated real time. Eventually it will come in, but she can click on send/receive email at almost anytime and it will pick up messages that have been sitting on the server. Is there anyway to speed this process up? I thought that was automatic with her configuration. Thanks!

Try this:

In Outlook on the client machine, go to: Tools, Options, Mail Delivery. In the mail accounts options check the box for Send messages immediately when connected, and check the box for Check for email messages every __ minutes, make the setting 1 and it will check for messages on the email server once each minute.

Hope this helps!

Enjoy,

Turns out her outlook wasn't detecting the connection automatically. I fixed that under tools, services, exchange server, advanced.
