Microsoft Outlook will automatically schedules a send/receive for every 30 minutes

However, the default send/receive interval may not meet some Outlook users’ need, for example they may require Microsoft Outlook scheduling automatically send/receive every 10 minutes, or every hour, etc. 

​

Step 1. Click the Send and Receive Groups > Define Send and receive Groups on the Send and Receive tab. 

​

​

Step 2. In the Send and Receive Groups dialog box

1. Click to highlight the send and receive group that you will change its automatic send and receive interval in the group list.
2. Make sure the option of Schedule an automatic send and receive every x minutes is checked, and enter your required send and receive interval time in the box in this option. For example, if you need Microsoft Outlook scheduling automatic send and receive every hour, just enter 60 in the box.
3. It’s optional to check the option of Schedule an automatic send and receive every x minutes in the When Outlook is Offline section, and enter a send/receive interval time in the box
