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.
- Enhance your email productivity with AI technology, enabling you to quickly reply to emails, draft new ones, translate messages, and more efficiently.
- Automate emailing with Auto CC/BCC, Auto Forward by rules; send Auto Reply (Out of Office) without requiring an exchange server...
- Get reminders like BCC Warning when replying to all while you're in the BCC list, and Remind When Missing Attachments for forgotten attachments...
- Improve email efficiency with Reply (All) With Attachments, Auto Add Greeting or Date & Time into Signature or Subject, Reply Multiple Emails...
- Streamline emailing with Recall Emails, Attachment Tools (Compress All, Auto Save All...), Remove Duplicates, and Quick Report...
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,
(1) Click to highlight the send/receive group that you will change its automatic send/receive interval in the group list;
(2) Make sure the option of Schedule an automatic send/receive every x minutes is checked, and enter your required send/receive interval time in the box in this option. For example, if you need Microsoft Outlook scheduling automatic send/receive every hour, just enter 60 in the box.
(3) It’s optional to check the option of Schedule an automatic send/receive every x minutes in the When Outlook is Offline section, and enter a send/receive interval time in the box.
Step 3: Click the Close button to exit this dialog box.
From now on, Microsoft Outlook will schedule send/receive for specified send/receive group at specified interval time automaticallyBest Office Productivity Tools
