How to hide send and receive progress dialog in Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2010
Using the Schedule an automatic send/receive every minutes field you can specify the time period at which the automatic send/receive emails needs to be done. The default value for this is 30 minutes.
Outlook 2010 displays a send and receive dialog box showing the progress of mails received and sent from the email Accounts. If you have configured more than one email accounts in Outlook then the time taken to complete Send/Receive will be more and the progress dialog will be displayed till the process is completed. Outlook provides allows users to hide the Send/Receive Progress. If you want to hide the dialog box then tick the check box with label as Don’t show this dialog box during Send/Receive.

Thanks for your support. It worked.
Thanks buddy, this helped me !!! Cheers..
It’s funny that Outlook help did not help at all in finding this. Google plus your site was much easier.
I just installed Outlook 2010, and when I click ‘Send and Receive’, I get the following error message: “?”The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found”
My email settings are accurate because all of my emails come to my Blackberry, but not my Outlook on my laptop. Please help.
outlook 2010 – is there no way of setting so queue email and not send it until manually request to send later?
@Sally – Yes, if you go to the tab “Send/Receive”, then choose “Send/Receive Groups” and then in the “Define Send/Receive Groups” – Un-Select the check-box of “Schedule an automatic send/receive every…”
This will make your Outlook 2010 do the Send/Receive only when you manually choose F9 button (or manually Send/Receive All Folders or Accounts).
Can Outlook 2010 be set to receive mail automatically, say every 10 minutes, but to send only on manual command?
Thanks, very helpful information.
Where can i change the settings for forwarded and sent emails not to send them to me as well?
My inbox email at first listed emails by Date, then Sender. Now emails are listed by Date, then Subject. How can I change the Subject header back to Sender?

Mine was doing the automatic from the start, I only want it send and receive when I click on send and receive. I took the check marks off send automatic, but now every time I click send/receive a pop-up comes up and wants my password. It there a way to stop that. We travel a lot, so I do not want my mail automatically going to my home computer, it can stay on AT&T’s server until I get home. I did not have this problem with my last version of Outlook
How do you change the amount of time the email is sent once you hit send- i want to slow it down just in case i want to grab it back (if i see an error).
Thank you so much..
Thanks for the post, it worked for me too
Yes this was very helpful, much better than Outlook help and much quicker too. You answered my problem in less than 5 clicks.
Good heavens, it took some time to figure this one out. I have been using Outlook 2010 for a year now and the whole time I’ve been wondering why I don’t receive messages faster. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for your help. It is great to know there is a site I can go to get answers to questions concerning Outlook 2010. I will pass this on to others I know are using the product.
Thanks for the great advice. Had been struggling – now it all works like i want it to.
Many thanks for this cooperation
THANKS TEAM
I would like email to be received oldest first instead of newest first. How do I configure to do that?
Thank you.. this was exactly what I was looking for. My mail server said my e-mail was connecting over 100,000 times in the past 24 hours, and they suggested I change the SEND/RECIEVE option from what I had (every 5 minutes..) to a 10 minute period and hopefully they think this might fix the “problem”..
thanks again
Nice to know that this helped to resolve the issue.

I don’t see an answer to Mary Dunkeson’s question above:
“Mine was doing the automatic from the start, I only want it send and receive when I click on send and receive. I took the check marks off send automatic, but now every time I click send/receive a pop-up comes up and wants my password. It there a way to stop that.”
How do you tell Outlook not to read mail when it comes up??
Can you check whether “Remember Password” has been checked under Account Settings -> Email Acccounts
What is the difference if this box is unchecked?
please help me i cant send or receive mails on outlook 2013 just installed it
