prevent mapi accounts from polling

[Aristide de la Tanne]

In Outlook 2007, I integrated my hotmail account by Outlook Connector.
In Tools - Options - Mail setup - Send/receive , it is not in the
group of accounts that is scheduled for automatic poll. But each time
when I open Outlook, hotmail is automatically polled. How can I
prevent that?

is hotmail set as the default acct / message store or are you using a pst
too? if it's the default, I think you have to set it offline in File menu
before closing outlook (or set outlook to not poll on open using the /nopoll
switch, then set it offline after opening) - as opening a folder in the
hotmail folder set initiates a poll.

I use a pst file for two pop3 accounts, one of them my default
account. The folders for my hotmail account remain closed until I
check it in the afternoon.

The /nopoll switch would do what I want. But in 2007 is seems
abolished

Still not sure, what to do. Aristide
