Outlook XP "Receive & Sending" at startup

Serville
Is there any way to make Outlook-XP to avoid receiving & sending whenever I launch the program ? It seems there is a lag of about 3-4 seconds everytime I open it. I remember there is a setting for this the last time I use it, but I couldn't find it anymore.

Hello, I have attempted to fix the Internet Scripting errors that were occurring with my NAV 2002,(running on XP) everytime I tried to do a scan. Live update seemed to be functional. I found a post from this forum, from back in June 2004, with some excellent solutions posted by Lotus.

What are small time computer sellers/resellers going to do?

pbuckne
I just wanted to see what everyone thought of Microsoft's legal decision that prevents people from buying Microsoft COA keys. You can check it out at this link. Personally, I feel that Microsoft is going to push its millions of customers into the arms of another lover, er, software manufacturer.
