As a web developer I often keep email accounts in email that are use
for troubleshooting for clients. With 2000 it was a simple matter t
disable these accounts by deselecting "pick up mail account . . ."

Two years ago I installed Office XP and quickly removed it becaus
there was no way to disable an account without deleting the entir
account. Yesterday I installed Office Pro 2003 and found the sam
problem.

PLEASE tell me there is a way to disable account without deleting th
account
 
I am not sure what you mean by disabling accounts. If you go into the
"Define send receive groups" window by pressing Ctrl Alt S you can set
up different groups which can be included or not in the send receive
process. If you edit a group you can check or uncheck "include in this
group" for each account. This will keep the accounts available but not
activated. I am running 2002 but I think 2003 works the same way.
 
That is exactly what I need. A bit cumbersome compared to the simple
click on/off in 2000, but will meet my needs.

Thanks!
