"Instant" E-Mail Receive?

Outlook 2003 SP2

SMTP & POP3 thru comcast.net servers

Basically what I want is to be able to receive emails as soon as whoever's sending me an email hits "send" and it's processed thru the servers. Just like when you're sending an email and you send it it's automatically processed and sent. Is there a way to do this?? It works this way in a W2k network environment with an Exchange server and Outlook XP, is it only possible on a network? I know about the time intervals, and a send/receive setting of 1 minute is alright, just would rather everything be instant w/o envoking Send/Receive. Thanks All.

POP/SMTP mail is pull based meaning you need to run a send a receive from the client to get the mail..

Exchange is a type of push based.. If you have outlook open and it is configured with an exchange account you will see it immediately.. Not gonna happen with POP mail.
