My e-mail seems to be retreived by my home computer even when Outlook is
closed. This is a new behavior. If I recall correctly, I recently allowed
an automatic update from MS so perhaps that is related.

I normally close Outlook on my home computer so I can read any new e-mail
via the web-based e-mail interface when I am away from home. However, I
discovered that the e-mail is now being retreived even when Outlook is
closed. I tested this to be certain.

In addition, yesterday I selected the option to save a copy of the e-mail on
the server. Yet e-mail is still being retreived and deleted.

This really surprises me. I am even concerned that some unwelcome software
is causing this. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
