Prevent Outlook Express from Getting New Email

[mchrist]

Hi:
I setup Outlook Express but I failed to prevent if from
deleting from my ISP's email server. I now know how to do
this, but the next time I launch Express it will
automatically connect to my ISP's email server, get the
latest messages and delete them. Is there any way to
startup Express and prevent it from automatically getting
new email?
Thanks.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97-2003 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
