Outlook continues receiving email when Outlook is closed

[Guest]

When I close Outlook 2003, it continues receiving e-mail. (I notice that
Outlook continues to be listed as a process in the Windows Task Manager.)

I don't want it to do that because I want incoming mail left on the server
when Outlook is closed, so that I can retrieve it from elsewhere.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Then, in fact, Outlook isn't closing. You're the only one who can figure out
why. Look for add-ins or synchronization software that would keep Outlook
running.

Thanks, Russ! I'll check it out.

Find the add-in that's keeping it open and stop it. Outlook will then
close. See

I had a similar problem. I tried about 30 ways to fix it. Finally succeeded
by deleting "Fax Log" via menu bar: Tools/Options/Mail Setup tab/Data Files/
Now Outlook closes instantly !
