So why don't you just set an interval that exceeds your time online? Polling
on exit is already an option.

Setting an automatic polling interval is fine, but I don't want it to do
a send/receive while I am working. I want Outlook to send/receive when I
startup and when I exit. In between I only want it to send/receive when
I tell it to.

After reading numerous pages it does not appear Outlook 2003 will do
this.

do not post your mail account type, connection type and polling

to examine what changes were made to your setup before automatic
polling
stopped working.

In general, here are the reasons automatic polling might fail in
Outlook:
1. You have created an unrealistic polling interval. Many users set
their polling interval to 1 minute thinking they will be downloading
mail continuously as it arrives. Such settings are not recommended.
They
put an unnecessary strain on mail servers and can create conflicting
polling requests that can damage your Send/Receive Group or even
your
account settings. 10 minutes is the recommended minimum.
2. While exiting Outlook, you inadvertently set your profile to Work
Offline (this option is immediately above the Exit command in the
File
menu).
3. You have a damaged Send/Receive Group as documented he

4. You have overridden your Send/Receive Group settings as
documented

5. Your mail account settings are corrupt. Recreate your mail
account
from scratch.
6. Firewall software is blocking your transmission. Disable your
Firewall temporarily to see if automatic polling is restored.
