Question asked on Feb 14, 2014
I've been using Mail for years, but now switched to Live Mail with my new 8.1 laptop.  I do a number of things and I have a lot of email boxes.  I don't want Live Mail to download new emails automatically, only when I tell it to.  I've managed to stop it sending them automatically, but it's still bringing them in whenever it wants.  How can I make it receive email ONLY when I hit the Update button?  (By the way, I don't use the online/cloud facility.  All my emails reside on my computer.)  Thanks!
