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.
