I just had to do a reformat on my Vista machine, running Office 2003.
Office reinstalled fine, however, one little quirk that I would like to get
fixed. Always before when I opened Outlook, email would be downloaded
automatically. Now I have to click on the send/receive tab before it will
do so. I went into tools, but the only option is for it to automatically
send/receive upon closing! When one opens an email client, one kinda
expects the email to be automatically received--and that is how it always
worked before and still works that way on my laptop. How do I get my
settings back to download mail as soon as I open Outlook?

While viewing your Inbox, press Alt-Ctrl-S. Check the box that says "Schedule
an automatic send/receive every XX minutes" and put in a value of no less than
about ten minutes.
