Whenever I launch my Outlook program it automatically checks for email. But I have it set to always ask for a password, so first it checks for email and then gives me an error message. Then I have to click SEND/RECEIVE again and it lets me enter my password. Is there a way to turn off that first automatic email checking when I open the Outlook program?
