Hello All!

My Outlook 2000 settings cannot seem to understand that I only want it
to check for Email if I explicitely tell it to do so by hitting F5 or
Send/Receive. Since I am away from my office most of the time, I want
to leave everything on the Exchange server so that I can check it on
the road with OWA (which works great as long as the mail is still
there...)

I've tried setting Outlook to 'check every 900 minutes'... I've had
that check box turned off.... I've tried just about all I can think of
and the dang thing still just pulls down everything without my say-so!

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I have had the same problem.
Here is a site that might help

Good luck

If using Outlook in Corporate or Workgroup mode, simply set up an .ost for
use when you are working remotely. It will synch with your Exchange server
when on-line and maintain copies of items locally when working remotely.
