hi Bill,
It is not clear what it is synchronizing with. There is an icon in the
botttom right system tray for outlook that indicates it is synching but not
what with. I wondered if it could be the webmail program that is provided by
my ISP (???)
I'm not sure how to answer re types of accounts - I have one - a pop3
account. But as I said, my ISP provides a web mail account that I primarily
use to review and manage spam files.
Thanks ~ Robin

My Outlook 2003 has suddenly started to begun synchronizing files
frequently
and when it does it frequently freezes my desktop preventing me from
working
on other things. I can't figure out why...I tried a system restore to an
earlier point when I knew it wasn't occurring - but that hasn't helped. Is
there some kind of setting I should be aware of?
