One of the buttons in the Windows Mail or Outlook Express toolbar I use most often is Send and Receive. Fortunately, there is also a keyboard shortcut for this essential command in Outlook Express.

  • Press Ctrl-M.

Now I can use the button less often and rely on the shortcut to see if any new mail has come in.
