Stop asking me to connect
I am using Outlook 2003. I exported my calendar content from my
desktop to my laptop via a pst file. I want to use outlook on the laptop for the calendar only (at this time). When I fire up outlook, it asks 3 times for my user info to connect to a mail server; I cancel them all. I then banish away the warning message window which complains about being unable to complete the tasks of connecting to the server. Needless to say, this is a royal PITA. I hunted around the options for a good long time, but the only ones that seemed to lessen the problem is Tools-Options-MailSetup-Send/Recieve...button This brings up a panel for Send/Receive Groups. I have only 1 group and 1 account. I want to keep that account because it contains all the nitty gritty details for connecting to the server -- I just don't want to connect to it for the time being. The account is IMAP (in case it matters). The one group is "All Accounts", which I can't erase (so I'm warned by a dialogue box). I tried editting that group so that: (1) The Inbox for my account is unchecked, and (2) the "Include the selected account in this group" is unchecked. This gets rid of 2 out of 3 dialogue boxes asking me to enter user authentication info to connect to the server. It also got rid of the warning window that complains about being unable to complete connection tasks. There is one remaining connection dialogue box to get rid of. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to do this. |
