Thanks Milly

But even after much more scratching of my head I can't find the 'revolving
arrows'. The send/receive thing seems to be instantaneous (broadband). Is
there any other way of reaching the box to uncheck it?

When conducting a send/receive, click on the revolving arrows to maximize
and uncheck the box.

| Hi all

| Using Outlook 2000. Usually when I check for new messages a box
