How can I make sure that pinned tabs get updated frequently, and is there a method to set the updating frequency somewhere? I need to be sure that I am up to date and not only when I open/wake the pinned tabs - if there is some new email coming into my inboxes I need to know straight away.

    Hi there,

    I'm Cherrelyn and I'm here to help.

    Pinned tabs like Outlook Web don’t refresh in real time unless they’re actively in use. Most browsers pause background activity to save resources, so new emails might not show up until you click the tab or refresh it. For instant updates, it’s better to use the desktop Outlook app or enable email notifications in your browser if available. You can also try keeping the tab active in a separate window to reduce browser throttling.

    I hope this will help and if you have any question please feel free to ask.

    Warm regards,

    Cherrelyn
