[AccessD] OT: Prevent outlook from receiving email

OT warning:

Well I haven't had a W-2 job since 1978 when I started my own company.  But
it seems to me that having emails pushed in your face all day long is
intrusive and disruptive to your concentration and efficiency.  

I guess it's the culture. I've had people call me and ask if I didn't get
the email they sent five minutes ago.  They expected an immediate response
regardless of what I was doing at that moment.  

Sometimes I actually close Outlook - if I'm doing something that requires my
absolute attention.

Hi Rocky

Ha ha, for us serviced by corporate e-mail where e-mails just pop in all day
(and night) long, this sounds as near the stone age.

In Outlook there's a list box under Send/Receive and one of the options is
Send All.  Won't do any receiving. 

Also, in my Outlook if I send an email it won't do receive but I have it set
not to retrieve automatically. When I want my email I send for it.  I found
that automatically receiving was too intrusive - interrupted my too much.
