RE: [OT] Outlook Collecting Messages when not running. How ?

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

    Ahhh - yes I do have a pocket PC sitting in the cradle here and that has been there for approx the time that I have this issue. However it 'active synchs' via serial and I have disabled the serial connection option on the PC so no active synchs have happened. Would the process of having active synch active on the PC even though no synchs are taking place cause this. Previous partnerships had been established.  I will look into this and see how I get on - thanks Tim if it is this it would have taken me ages to find it. Does the background application have a name that I would see in the W98 task manager ?

 

James you asked "Are you running Homeseer / another MAPI program?" - another great possibility I hadn't thought of ! I do run Homeseer with MAPI enabled but on another machine not this one, it also has its own pop account for HA messages to/from the HA system. So I don't believe it's this but it could have been ! I don't knowingly have any other MAPI app running.

Do you perhaps have a PocketPC in a cradle? When you start ActiveSync it actually loads Outlook as a background process.

  Something's changed on my machine. I use Outlook 2000 and I have broadband. I collect my mail from a couple of pop servers. Outlook does not launch automatically and I don't leave it running when I am not at the PC partly because the noises it made when I received mail were annoying but also because I was concerned about virus threats.

    Now however Outlook is collecting my mail even though it is not running - is there any option anywhere in Outlook to set up such a 'background' way of operating or how has this come about ?? When I come back to the machine and launch Outlook it already has a number of new messages downloaded since the last launch.
