Thanks for your help Brian. The loss of Autocomplete isn't an issue,
because I can rebuild that by dumping (ctrl+A) all of my address book into a
new e-mail message. Even if I don't send it, that should rebuild
Autocomplete. However, since there are some minor hassles with rebuilding
and repairing, I think I'll wait and see if any more significant problems
occur before changing profiles. Thank you (plus DL and Roady) for providing
such good feedback on options.

Roady, the send/receive notification pops up on the bottom of the Outlook
window when it runs. I don't know if mail is actually being downloaded
in that interval, since I don't get enough mail to tell.

If the send/receive status displays, that's a fairly sure indication that
a send/receive is being performed.

I thought I might have to create a new profile to resolve this, but don't
really understand what that changes.
1. If I point that profile to my current .pst, will I lose any calendar,
mail, or contacts?

No. You will, however, lose the autocompletion cache, since that's
profile-specific, and if you reference a POP mailbox in the Inbox of which
you've left messages you've downloaded before, you'll get a redownload of
all those old messages. Keep in mind, too that when you re-add any POP
account, the default is to delete downloaded messages so you'll have to
remember to enable leaving copies on the server, if that's what you had
before, prior to starting Outlook.

2. Will my current Outlook settings revert to default settings for that
profile?

Depends on the settings, but many will.

3. I have an AT&T wireless account, and also pull Hotmail into Outlook
with Outlook Connector. Will I need to reinstall Connector under the new
profile, if I remove the original profile?

You won't need to reinstall the connector, since it's already installed
(the Toolbar should still contain the "Outlook Connector" menu), but you
will need to readd the Hotmail account.
