I have searched the forums and combed the internet and still have not found an answer. Hence this discussion.
The 411:
New laptop, new install, new Office Pro Plus 2010, Windows Home Premium 64-but, Avast Anti-virus, POP3 (godaddy), successful import of 2007 Outlook .pst, test messages successful, sending messages successful, receiving and sending from webmail successful, turned off Avast scanning of outbound and inbound messages and no change, changed name of data file (from Outlook 1) and no change, send/receive groups checked with 2 minutes, no add-ins from Avast.
However, if i click on "Send/Receive All Folders" on toolbars, messages download.
Any advice on how to get messages without having to click on Send/Receive?
