Do you already have a mail account installed, tested and active? Control Panel->Mail Icon->Email Accounts->View or Change. Does your account show up? If yes, then...
Start up Outlook, the select Tools->options->mail setup tab. Select the Send/Receive button. On the next tab where you see all of the options, look to the bottom portion of the page for "setting for All Group accounts" - the option to set a send/receive interval appears there. Check it and ensure you select no less than a 10 minute interval.
