Summary: Define Send/Receive groups for Exchange accounts and folders, and specify the tasks that are performed on each group during a Send/Receive in Outlook.

A Send/Receive group contains a collection of Outlook accounts and folders. You can specify different options for Send/Receive groups when Outlook is online and offline.

    • Choose New to create a new group of accounts and folders.

    • Choose Modify to specify or redefine options for a Send/Receive group.

    • Choose Rename to change the name of an existing Send/Receive group.

    • Choose Remove to remove an existing Send/Receive group.

Send/Receive settings for the selected group

  • Schedule an automatic Send/Receive every n minutes - Type the number of minutes you want between automatic Send/Receive actions.

  • Perform an automatic Send/Receive when exiting - Automatically execute a Send/Receive action for this group when the user exits Outlook.

When Outlook is offline:

Exchange address book:

  • Download offline address book - Download the offline address book when the user chooses Send/Receive.
