I just bought Office for Mac 2011 Business Edition, and plan on using Outlook now instead of the Email App from Apple.  One thing I really liked about it is that it would fetch for new emails at start up, so I would know right away if there were emails waiting for me.  It seems to me that with outlook, I have to click on the icon on the task desktop for it to fetch for new emails.  Is there anyway around this?

Also, does anyone have any insight on when an update for the Retina Display MBP is set to come out for Office?  It seems that outlook has been updated, but word is still blurry.

Any insight will be much appreciated.
