Disable automatic email check on startup of Outlook

[benz]

Does anyone know how I can disable the automatic checking of my email accounts when Outlook (2003 in this case) is first started up? I am sometimes on a slow wireless connection and I don't want to wait for it to go through all my email accounts (and give back various timeout errors). I'd rather check it manually the first time I start it up.

Any suggestions?

thanks

In the Tools/Customize menu there are a list of the services you want to scan automatically. You can remove these services.

I'm not sure, but I think you can also create different configurations for Outlook, so you can use one with a regular network connection and another for your wireless. Check your Outlook Help file.

Hope this helps.
