Using Outlook 2000 Corporate or Workgroup setting

[Kathie M. Thomas]

I have the corporate or workgroup set up on Outlook 2000 on both my laptop
and my desktop. I want to be able to receive my emails on my laptop when
I'm out of my office but not when I'm plugged into my system in my office,
i.e. I don't want to receive on both the desktop and laptop. In the
personal version of Outlook 2000 it has an option to tick/untick 'receive
and send email via this account' but the corporate and workgroup set up
doesn't appear to have this. The only way I can find to do it is to add the
account, and then delete it when I don't want to use it.

Does anyone have a workaround this - or is there something I've missed?

Regards, and TIA,

Kathie

No - it is one of the limitations of the C/W mode in Outlook 98 and 2000.
Fortunately, the modes have been unified in later version where you can
define what mail accounts you want to send/receive on a per account basis.
