APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Outlook 2002 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q284405



SYMPTOMS
When you configure Outlook to gain access to an Exchange Server mailbox and deliver new messages to a personal folder (.pst) file, a new message takes about 45 seconds to be downloaded to the .pst file, though it appears in the Inbox almost immediately.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Outlook 2002 checks the Exchange Server for new messages only once a minute. This behavior is by design.

Additional query words: polling time
