| This issue is generally email client related which means it's a setting within your email software that is causing the delay. We are not an IT company so not responsible for configuring or supporting your email client however below we will show you the settings in Outlook and Mac Mail on how to make your email client send and receive more frequently. |
Change your send and receive settings in Outlook.

2. Select the group you want to change.
3. If you only want to send and receive mail when you press F9, clear the first Schedule an automatic send/receive every n minutes option.
