Outlook refuses to get email then won't shut down

D

I use O2003 in standalone mode to fetch email from several remote mail
accounts over a satellite internet connection. The connection is flakey and
sometimes my connection will go down in the middle of receiving or sending
email. With OE, it would just try again and I'd end up with some duplicate
email. O2003 refuses to get or receive anymore email unless I shut it down
and restart it. Sometimes when I shut it down it won't restart because it's
really still running in the background (it can be seen in the process menu of
the task manager). So I have to kill it which then somtimes triggers O2003 to
rescan all my mail folders for problems, which takes several hours because
I've got alot of stored email. Obviously all this is very frustrating and a
big waste of my time.

I've read some posts on why O2003 keeps running after being told to exit,
e.g. disabling add-ins, disabling my email virus scanner, etc. Nothing helps.
I've also tried disabling and enabling my network card. Still no help. O2003
just refuses to shutdown.

Please advise.
