I have just upgraded to XP and have found that my email no longer gets
automatically sent or recieved. I have configured it for auto send under
Tools/options/Mail Setup. If I compose an email I have to click Send once
and it goes to outbox. A send Send is required to actually send it. I have
to manually click Send/Receive to recieve email even though I have it sent
for auto receive every five minutes. Is this some new XP security feature?
How do I get it to auto send/receive?
 
Nothing has changed.
It is difficult to determine why automatic polling is failing when you do
not post your mail account type, connection type and polling settings. If
automatic polling once worked and now fails, you also need to examine what
changes were made to your setup before automatic polling stopped working.

In general, here are the reasons automatic polling might fail in Outlook:
1. You have created an unrealistic polling interval. Many users set their
polling interval to 1 minute thinking they will be downloading mail
continuously as it arrives. Such settings are not recommended. They put an
unnecessary strain on mail servers and can create conflicting polling
requests that can damage your Send/Receive Group or even your account
settings. 10 minutes is the recommended minimum.
2. While exiting Outlook, you inadvertently set your profile to Work Offline
(this option is immediately above the Exit command in the File menu).
3. You have a damaged Send/Receive Group as documented here:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q312/3/36.asp
4. You have overridden your Send/Receive Group settings as documented here:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q320/8/36.asp
5. Your mail account settings are corrupt. Recreate your mail account from
scratch.
6. Firewall software is blocking your transmission. Disable your Firewall
temporarily to see if automatic polling is restored.
7. Windows XPSP2 changes to RPC, but only if running against Exchange
Server. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883606
