Outlook 2002 help
I upgraded to Outlook 2002 some time ago, and now I have a small problem.
I run 4 email account, though two of these are used on home computers when people are not on holiday. When they are I divert them to my work email.
Now, on Outlook 200, you could check a tick box in the account setting whether you wanted that account to be 'active'. With the new
version this option seem to have dissappeared. The only way I can stop collecting emails is to delete the whole account, then reinstate it when I need
to collect them.
Am I missing something here? Cos if I'm not it does seem a rather retrograde step to take.

Are you sure its not there when you go into the properties for each listed account as "Include this account when recieving mail or
syncronising"

Nope - that was how it was with 2000, but with 2002 I can't find that option.

Possibly, but wouldn't I then get a failed send and receive every time?
Yup - just tried it, a password box comes up each time it connects....

I am also using Outlook 2003, but seem to remember you could do it in 02. In 03 you click on Tools, select Send/Receive and then select Send/Receive
settings, then Define Send/Receive Groups. from the dialog box select edit, then untick "include the selected account in the group" and it
will not send/receive that account. Hope this helps.
