Outlook and a laptop

[Guest]

I need to make sure that Outlook that is running on my boss' laptop will only
download mail when he sybchronizes it. And he can then reply to e-mails and
they will not send until he synchronizes again. This should seem straight
forward and I only get to set it up. I do not get to check and see if it
works has be is extremely paranoid about his e-mail.
He will connect to the mail server either on the LAN or he will VPN into the
network when away. That part is all set up. I just need to make sure I get
everything else on Outlook configured.

It's impossible to provide any guidance without knowing at least your
Outlook version.

Outlook 2003 Help returned the following when the search entry was: "leave
on server"

It tells you all that you would want to know.

Its outlook 2000 but it seems basically similar to Outlook 95 and 97. I did
finally get it to work. I missed the part where you select Remote mail
transport. Otherwise it was trying to sync up every time it launched.
All seems to work now.

That looks like a great article on the subject!
