"Synchronizing Folders" Driving me crazy - HELP!!

[Bill T.]

Hi All:

Seems like all the time and especially when I hit "send receive" I get an
icon in the systems tray that says "Microsoft office outlike is
synchronizing folders" and it halts the program while it does this. From
what I understand it's most likely used for PDa's and the like, but I don't
sync mail with my smartphone so I want it gone. Can someone tell me how to
get rid of this annoying little process?

Thanks a ton,

Bill

Send/receive is 'synchronizing'

No shit, but it stops the program from working for long periods of time and
I'd like to stop that from happening. BTW, my version of Outlook is 2003.

Anyone else lend a hand without stating more of the obvious?
