Vista - Shortcut keys

Shortcut keys

Under the old Outlook Express, when I wanted to check for a pending message,
I only had to hit the F5 key. Under WLM it seems as though there is no way
around pulling down the menu, clicking on the correct account, etc.

Am I missing something?

Re: Shortcut keys

Ctrl + M initiates a Send / Receive.
Would that work?

Re: Shortcut keys

Not really. That kicks off a complete resend. Unless the account I'm looking
at is on the top of the list, it can be a longish wait.

RE: Shortcut keys

F5 still works - you just don't get the big dialog box telling you that it's
updating. Hit F5 and watch the lower right corner of WLM
