I'm helping my family with a new laptop.  I've downloaded the current version of Microsoft Live and have been trying to figure out how to reduce the send/receive interval time.  The directions I find online refer me to a tools item on the menu bar.  There is no Tools item on the menu bar.  I do not think it matters, but they are using charter.net for their email account.

How do I change accelerate the sending and receiving of my emails?
