Thanks,

I did "Start -- Run -- Outlook /nopoll", but I got the following error:

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. The command line argument is not
valid. Verify the switch you are using."

Where to?

you can start outlook with the /nopoll switch and select the accounts you
want to check from the send receive button.

Hi,

I am using: Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Service Pack 2
build 2600, and I have the following question:

My Outlook is configured to check a few accounts, some of them are
mailing
lists with hundreds of emails waiting after a long weekend. I want to
start the send/receive process but I don't want Outlook to check those
accounts, only my main account because it will take forever and I don't
have time for it now.

How can I configure to "put on hold" the other accounts? I don't want to
delete them, just not check them for now.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
