Using Outlook for Contacts, Only

[AZGeld]

Is there a way to configure Outlook to manage contacts only? I don't use it
for email (I use MSN), and have 2000+ emails that are in the inbox. I think
if I delete them on Outlook, they'll be deleted from MSN? I don't want them
in both places. Help, please!

Certainly. Just don't define an email accunt when you create your mail
profile.

Depends. If your current configuration accessed MSN via the Outlook
Connector, then deleteing the data in Outlook deletes it from the server as
well. However, you wer imprecise in describing your configuration so we
can't tell.

Brian, thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I'm not all that knowledgeable so I
don't know what info would be helpful -- can you let me know how to undo what
I've already set up, if that's possible? I don't want emails to go thru/to
Outlook, just to/thru MSN. What should I look for and where?? Thanks!!

Remove all mail accounts from your mail profile.
