By default, Outlook Express checks for new e-mail messages every 30
minutes. You can change this value by clicking the Tools
menu, then clicking the Options... menu item, then
changing the value for "Check for new messages every 30 minutes"
under the General tab.
You can also check for new e-mail messages manually by clicking the
Tools menu, clicking Send and Receive, then clicking
the Send and Receive All menu option.
An even faster way to manually check for new e-mail messages is
to press Ctrl-M or the Send/Recv button on the
toolbar.
