Need manual send and receive

[JohnM]

My OS is Vista 64 bit and I'm using outlook 2007. I need to have outlook send
and receive email manually. I've unchecked schedule send and receive in the
settings area but it still automatically gets my email. I close the program
and while I'm online or using a different program a message will still pop up
telling me the I have new email. I've unchecked everything I know to uncheck
but it still keeps doing it's thing in the background. Outlook 2007 does not
seem any different than 2003 that I have installed on my old XP computer and
I have the new 2007 version setup identically as the older version. HELP
please or sell me a MAC.

If outlook is receiving mail when it appears closed, then it has not closed
properly, and if you open Task Manager>Running Processes tab, you will
doubtless see one or more instances of outlook.exe

Yes it is a running process and I can choose to stop it but the problem is
greater than that.

1. It's a running process on startup. I ran msconfig and it's not apart of
the startup. So why is it running?

2. If I log onto outlook it imediately starts to download my email even
though I think I have it turn off.

My problem is that I need to download my email at home some times and other
times at work on my laptop. If my wife turns on the computer at home the
computer will download some email that I want on my laptop.

There has to be something somewhere that is tells outlook to get the mail.

You need to asertain what is holding the outlook process open
Start off by uninstalling any anti virus you have intergrated with outlook,
then clear temp files (disk cleanup) and reboot.
See if outlook then exits properly (task manager)
If not, start outlook using the safe switch and report back with waht add
ins are shown under Trust Centre.
Use run cmd
enter;
outlook.exe /safe (note space between exe /)

1) Its not a running process on startup unless you have added an outlook
shortcut to the start up folder; there are other places auto start can be
configured/shown but these are in the registry, so unless you manually
edited the registry they wont be there
2) As before, the outlook process is not exiting
