Why do you need it to be less than 1 minute?
If you want instant access to new emails, use an Exchange account and disable Cached Exchange Mode. No mail client out there will allow you to sync more frequently than once per minute with an IMAP or POP3 account as you'd be constantly polling the server then leading to even more issues. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "ישראל" wrote in message ...

send receive on outlook
Hi
The reason i need this periodic sync is that when my UPS fails, it sends me a mail and when the outlook receives it, it launches a program which SMS me. There is a chance that the UPS won't keep my PC on for a whole 1 min (in the worst case) , and shut it down before It sends the SMS.... btw, I couldn't setup the UPS program (Winpower) to SMS me directly although this feature exists) You have talked about "polling the mail server", so what about "Google Talk"? When I receive an email in gmail, "Google Talk" notifies my in no more than 5 seconds! And there are many Desktop Gadgets which displays a screenshot of your inbox and sync it more rapidly, nevertheless they don't have the "rules and alerts" option like outlook has...

They are "push" based; POP3 is not.
Push email is when the server alerts you of new messages instead of you checking the server for new messages. Usually you would send the email message to an external address that does not rely on your internal network infrastructure as that is what is about to fail. See if your phone carrier has an email to sms service if you want to receive it via sms only. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "ישראל" wrote in message ...
