On my old computer, M$ Outlook would check for new email every 5 minutes, even when I didn't have it open. If I had new messages, it would put an icon in my system tray. I can't figure out how to get my new laptop to do that--I've got Outlook set up to "send/receive every 5 minutes" in the options menu, but it only does it if Outlook is open. Any suggestions?

Toshiba Satellite 1415-S173
Windows XP Pro
Outlook (Office) XP

I hacked into the registry to disable Messanger--I suppose that might cause weird behaviour, but I did that on my old computer, too.
