You can check for new mail manually by pressing the
button located in the Shortcut bar in Mail mode. When you do this, OfficeTalk checks each mail service that you
use for receiving mail and adds any new mail to your Incoming Mail folder.
You may wish to check a specific mail service for new incoming mail, such as the Internet Mail Service. You can do this using the menu. Select Check For New Mail from the Mail menu in Mail mode.
From the sub-menu, select Using Internet Service. OfficeTalk will check only the Internet Mail Service for incoming mail sent to you. Each service has a shortcut key which is shown next to each menu item in the sub menu. For example, the shortcut key to check for new mail using all services is Ctrl+M. The shortcut key for checking for new mail using individual mail services will depend upon which services are currently loaded. Press Ctrl+1 to check for new mail using the first mail service shown, Ctrl+2 to check using the second mail service shown and so on.
Note: If your machine is set up as a gateway machine for Internet Mail then, when you check for new mail, OfficeTalk first connects to the Internet and checks on behalf of all users in the workgroup who are currently set up to use the Internet mail service. For more information on setting up your machine as an Internet Mail Gateway, see Setting Up Per-User Information.
