Configure email account to send only

[Ian R]

Hi

I have intentionally setup one of my email addresses in OL 2010 for sending
only.

However to achieve this I have had to garble the incoming server details.
This generates a send/receive error in the status bar every time I
send/receive.

Is there anyway to prevent the error notification? As I have set it up this
way intentionally there is no fault but it wont allow me to leave the
incoming server details empty.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

This is separate of creating a send-only account. "Garbling" the
headers, whatever that means, has nothing to do with the accounts
defined within Outlook.

You'll have to explain why you have to mangle the e-mail in order to
make a "send-only account" because none of that is required in Outlook.

This generates a send/receive error in the status bar every time I
send/receive.

So is it during a send or during a receive when the error appears? And
just WHAT does the error say?

Don't know what version of Outlook you are using since you never
mentioned it. If using Outlook 2002/2003, did you setup a send-only
account by using the following procedure?

- Tools->Send/Receive->Send/Receive Settings->Define Send/Receive Groups
- Select the send/receive group under which the account is included.
o If you have never rearranged your accounts into separate groups,
you'll only have the All Accounts group to select.
o If you have defined more groups, it is possible an account may
appear in more than one group.
- Click the Edit button.
- Select the account under that group.
- You can separately configure whether that account will:
o Be disabled (both send and receive are deselected).
o Send only. <-- THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT FOR SEND-ONLY ACCOUNT
o Receive only.
o Both send and receive.

Hi Vanguard

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'm using Outlook 2010 which you might have missed in the first line of my
message.

I cant seem to find any of the options you have referred to (for OL 2003).
This would make it easy to do and obvious but things have changed so much in
OL 2010 that I don't know if the same thing is possible.

To work around it I have simply left the "m" off the .com for the incoming
server so it cant login and this is what generates the "send/receive error"
notification with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle in the status
bar. There is no option to leave the incoming server field blank

Maybe someone here knows how to set up a send only account in Outlook 2010.

Cheers

Ian

"You can open the Send/Receive Groups dialog by pressing the CTRL+ALT+S"

This is the keyboard shortcut (which I don't use and didn't check for
before replying). This opens the "Send/Receive Groups" dialog that I
mention but without going through the menu navigation. Yep, OL2010
changed the menus and became more wizard-like making it more difficult
to figure out where to find anything. Somewhere in OL2010 there should
be a menu or wizard navigation to get to that same dialog as does the
shortcut.

(found in a Google search)

From the above, you start on the Send/Receive tab and then click on
Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups. So instead
of walking down through a menu, you click your way through the ribbon
bar.
