Outlook is receiving POP email even when closed.

[Angel666]

Outlook 2007 is receiving POP email even when closed. I have searched
everywhere to shut this off. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Covey Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing mail.

I do have Active Synch installed. If this is the culprit is there
anywhere to shut off Outlook from running in the background?

If ActiveSync is causing it, then you merely need to uncradle the PDA.
Otherwise, you can investigate KnockOut
