You really expect anyone to waste their personal monies making a
long-distance phone call to Orange County, CA for a worldwide post in a
public newsgroup? Disconnecting the conversation by using telephone or
e-mail means anyone else with the same problem can't do a search in
newsgroups to find the answer that worked for you. If you post in
Usenet, share the results. Taking conversations offline is for when
there is sensitive information divulged that no one else should see.

Been way too many years since I used OL2000. I don't have a copy to go
wading through the menus to look for you. Nothing in OL2000's own help
when searching on "offline"?
Microsoft has a huge support database at
http://support.microsoft.com.
Use the advanced search so you can narrow the search to a specific
product version which you didn't specify in your original post (versions
exist because of differences between them). Maybe one of the following
matches on a search will help you:
http://support.microsoft.com/search/...k+2000+offline
http://support.microsoft.com/search/...de=s&cat=False
There is probably also an option to set how often OL2000 will poll for
new mails. Disable polling for now. When polling is enabled, polling
at zero time (when Outlook is started) will occur. Maybe if Outlook is
configured not to poll (i.e., you need to perform manual polls) then
maybe it won't try to transmit when you start Outlook. Again, I don't
have OL2000 to go looking through the menus.
