Syble, Legacy doesn't automatically update as I'm sure you know. It does update some items on the Home Tab automatically - but there is a setting that controls this.
Legacy has a setting to only check the internet if you click a link. See under the Options button on the Home Tab - then choose Options - Internet Options.
