I am aware of the instructions to open file->option->mail->connect->stop signing in

"Stop signing in" is greyed out and not operative on my PCs. I want to archive Windows Live Mail and just keep its files without connecting to the internet, and without error messages every time I start it. I removed passwords, but Live Mail still tries to open accounts when it is started even though everything applicable is turned off.

My provider does not support any mail service other than their own. When connect Live Mail has frequent error messages and cannot display messages. I am certain Outlook works, but they do not provide support for that either. All settings for Live Mail are as prescribed by the provider. I am able to use the browser-based mail service of my provider. I do not want to use Outlook.

Is there something in the register which I can change to prevent Live Mail from connecting?
