Still Receives Mail When Not Running

[Andrew Duncan]

I'm using Outlook XP as my email client, when I leave the
office I exit Outlook so it won't be running and
receiving email, allowing me to check email remotely via
webmail interface. However I've noticed that I get no new
messages when doing this webmail checking, as Outlook is
somehow still receiving the email even though it is not
running (but the computer is still on).

Any ideas how to stop Outlook checking and receiving new
email messages when it shouldn't be running?

Many thanks - Andrew

If you have Outlook as your email client, and you use an Exchange account,
then the Exchange server actually accepts your incoming mail, not your
Outlook client. That could explain why closing Outlook has no effect.
