How to set send/receive (sync) settings in Outlook 2013/2016 1. Go to the Send/Receive tab. Select the drop down arrow and choose “Define Send/Receive Groups.” 2.

- There is no Outlook Server setting for frequency of polling. This setting is at the client end. On an email client 'check for new messages' is used to avoid overloading the server with requests. See the MS Outlook website.
- With such an insanely long time interval to sync, it is too slow to be functional, so I will likely abandon the Outlook calendar until this is fixed. A reasonable time interval would be more in the range of 5-10 minutes, rather than 24+ hours.
