When using multiple accounts on Outlook 2007 ; outlook checking (send and
receives) all accounts same time. I want check accounts severally , like
outlook express. is it possible?
No, except as noted below in the next paragraph. The user gets no control
over the order and concurrency of mail polls for accounts all in the same
send/receive group (the default is to put all accounts that you define into
the same send/receive group). This can cause a problem if you have several
accounts with the same e-mail identifier (who you did not identify). Some
mail hosts permit only a limited number of concurrent connections from the
same IP address. Some only permit 1 connection from an IP address. That
means polling multiple accounts on the same mail host with such a limitation
will result in failed mail sessions for some of the accounts at the same
e-mail provider. You'll have to find out from your unidentified e-mail
provider as to what is the maximum number of concurrent connections to their
mail servers from the same IP address.
What you might try is to create multiple Send/Receive groups (in OL2003, go
to Tools -> Send/Receive -> Send/Receive Settings -> Define Send/Receive
Groups. You can create more groups where to organize your multiple
accounts. Disable some accounts in one group and enable them in another
group. Each group has its own settings regarding when to poll the accounts
defined in that group. So you could have one group polling every 11 minutes
and another less important group of accounts polling every 17 minutes (I
pick prime numbers so the overlap in mail polls for groups is farther out:
where they overlap is found by multiplying the prime numbers, and the higher
the prime numbers the farther out it gets, along with being less abusive to
the e-mail provider for mail polls that never find anything in your
mailbox).
