If you have configured your accounts to automatically check for new items and perform other tasks on a regular schedule, you can start send/receive manually.

 Note   Some types of accounts, such as Really Simple Syndication (RSS) (RSS: A way for content publishers to distribute news, blogs, and other content to subscribers. This content, whether complete or a synopsis, usually has a link back to the original content on the publisher's Web site.) and calendar publishing, will not check for new items each time a send/receive is initiated. These accounts might include information from the servers that they use on how often Microsoft Office Outlook should check for updates.
