Can't stop Outlook 2002 from checking email when offline
Hi,
A while back I upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2002 and can't get the program to stop checking for email when I'm offline - and continually notifying me that it is unsuccessful. Because I still use a dial-up modem, I have the program set to check for new mail every two minutes, but only when I'm online. While this worked with Outlook 2000, Outlook 2002 seems to ignore the "online only" setting.
In the Options->Mail Setup->Send/Receive groups dialog, I have my accounts setup to send/receive when online only. However, when I disconnect from the Internet, I get the pop-up send/receive window every two minutes, indicating that there were errors when trying to check my email. There MUST be a way to set up Outlook 2002 in such a way that it will check my email automatically when I'm online, but STOP when I'm offline.
I'd greatly appreciate any assistance.
Much thanks,
John
