I have in my outlook on my work place two accounts: work and private. I have
chosen to have my mail checked automatically every 5 minutes (or when I
click Send/Recv), which then takes place for both accounts. Actually I would
like that only my work mail is checked and not my private mail; I would like
to check my private account only on moments I choose separately from
checking work mail.
I knew how to do this in OL express but I don't manage to get it done in
Outlook.
I'll appreciate your help.

I believe it is located under Tools-->Send/Receive
You should see the specific accounts there.

Also in Tools-->Send/Receive-->Send/Receive Settings-->Define Send/Receive
Groups you could create a group with certain accounts and specify an
interval for that group.

That is what I needed to know.
Thanks a lot!
