    This is not an Outlook group. But you can set the options in Outlook to send
    and receive every X amount of time you choose.

    Good luck

    That type of problem is often caused by interference from a non-
    compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
    As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
    although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
    In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

    If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
    consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
    suffering bad effects from overly intrusive antivirus programs.

    Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
    explained here:
