I used to have a send/receive button but it disappeared, so did the send /receive functions under tools. My only options are to wait for MS Outlook to check for messages or press F9, but I miss having the button to check messages. I have searched and requested help within MS Outlook and can not find where the button can be added to the toolbar. Any ideas how to regain my send/receive button?
 
Did you go to Tools/Customize? It's the only place I can think of. On the Commands tab you can add what functions you want to add or subtract from what menu - so you should be able to add Send/Receive back into Tools.

If you've tried that and it doesn't work, then I'm fresh out of ideas! Hope you get it sorted out!
 
Yes, I've looked through the Customize options and it's not there to add to the toolbar. It's making me crazy. :3dglasses :badpc:
 
Here is the only thing I can find....

The Send/Receive button is missing for one of the following reasons:

* You have not configured an e-mail account in Outlook

* You accidentally deleted the Send/Receive button from your toolbar. To restore it:
1. Start Outlook.
2. From the Tools menu, select Customize.
3. Select the Commands tab.
4. From the Category list, select Tools.
5. From the Commands list, select Send/Receive.
6. Drag Send/Receive to your Outlook toolbar.
7. Click the Close button.
 

My dad had this problem on his computer. I can't believe someone else has the same problem! He (and I) haven't solved it yet either. Fortunately my computer is fine!
 
Sometimes it is still on the toolbar and you just can't see it. Do you have an option to unlock the toolbar? If so, choose that, then slide your mouse across whatever you have left on the toolbar until you see a -|- symbol. Click and drag the toolbar and you should see whatever is hidden.
 
When Outlook opens (on calendar) and I switch to Mail the button is there and then it hides rather quickly. I've tried to find hidden objects but the toolbar doesn't stretch, only moves, even at the separators (|). :confused3
 
when oyu right click on your tool bar, what is checked off?
