Fall Creators Update

…I’ve not been getting e-mail automatically downloaded; that suddenly stopped working without any obvious cause…

Symptoms
When you start Microsoft Outlook, Outlook does not automatically perform a send and receive operation to download messages from the server.
Cause
This behavior can occur because of a damaged Send/Receive group within Outlook.
Resolution
To resolve this behavior, create a new Send/Receive group in Outlook:
[ol]
[li]On the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive Settings, and then click Define Send/Receive Groups[/li][li]Under Group Name, click the group, and then click Copy.[/li][li]Under Send/Receive Group Name, type the new group name, and then click OK.[/li][li]Under Group Name, click the old group name.[/li][li]Under both When Outlook is Online and[/li]When Outlook is Offline, click to clear the check box for
Include this group in Send/Receive (F9).
[li]Click Close.[/li][li]Quit Outlook, and then restart Outlook.[/li][/ol]

On the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive Settings, and then click Define Send/Receive Groups
Ok, no problem. Got that up.
Under Group Name, click the group, and then click Copy.
Ok, Done.
Under Send/Receive Group Name, type the new group name, and then click OK.
The existing one is “All Accounts” So I’m leaving the new one as the default name of “Copy of All Accounts”
Under Group Name, click the old group name.
Ok, that’ll be highlighting the “All Accounts” group.
Under both When Outlook is Online and When Outlook is Offline, click to clear the check box for Include this group in Send/Receive (F9).
Ok, but I have to assume the top bit is online as it doesn’t say so. But F9 is already ticked in both blocks.
But ! I see there is no tick in Schedule an automatic send/receive every 5 minutes. Maybe that’s the issue. I’ll tick that too.
Click Close.
Quit Outlook, and then restart Outlook.
Giving it a try now.

Yes that worked fine. Thanks again.

Now I just have to decide whether it is worth unticking the Redemption Helper Outlook Extension. But it’s presently working better than it has for ages.

Ah I read you incorrectly, you said to clear not tick. Whoops. Still it seems ok anyway. Should I go back and clear it anyway ?

If it works, don’t fix it.

But DO disable redemption.

Worst case - disabling redemption causes a problem.
Start Outlook in safe mode, re-enable.

Best case - Problem disappears.

Brilliant. All seems sorted. Unsure why it coincided with the Fall update though. Thanks again. I think this is solved. I leave it for a short while though in case something crops up.
Thanks again.

PS eM CLient seems to work well with the secondary e-mail account.
