[AccessD] OT: Prevent outlook from receiving email

Further digging around...

Tools|Options|Mail Setup Tab

Then click Send/Receive button. Select the account and click the 'Edit' button. The resulting Send/Receive Settings dialog has a check box labeled "Receive mail items". 

Clearing that should do the trick.

Now as to where that option might be hidden in in Outlook 2010, I'll leave that to you to discover. :-)

Not sure if you can do that John, but you could just set up a rule in Outlook telling it to delete all incoming mail.

Subject: [AccessD] OT: Prevent outlook from receiving email

I want to send only, never receive email from my outlook client.  I use Thunderbird but cannot automate that for the send.  I automate Outlook send (and have forever) and just don't need it to receive all my email even though I will never read it in Outlook and will just (from time to time) delete it all from there.

So... is there a way to prevent picking up email in outlook, but allow it to still send?
