Outlook Express 6 auto mail check

I have been using Outlook Express 6 for some time now. I had Mailwasher Free on my PC and changed some of the settings. I have since uninstalled Mailwasher and changed settings back on Outlook Express's mail program. My problem is it won't automatically check for new mail; when I start up it doesn't check for mail as it is instructed to even though I find out by manually checking that there is mail there. I thought I had reset everything to the way it was but there must be something not set right. Can anyone help me?

Already set as such!

Uncheck it, reboot, manually check mail.
Reset to what you want and see if it takes after a reboot.

Nothing changed. Still have to open mail manually.

I had hopes. . .
Sorry, that is my limit and I hope some one can help out. :(

Don't have a quick fix, but you may find help here ...
