Is there a way to run Outlook 2011 at startup, so it works just like Apple’s Email App?

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?
