I seem to have a problem that is the opposite of what every one else has.
 
Live sent and received email even though I (believe I) have it disabled.
 
I unchecked the "Send and receive messages at startup"
and unchecked "Check for messages every...".
and unchecked "Send messages immediately"
 
I created a test email and clicked "send".  I got a message that it would be held in the Outbox until email was checked.
 
I noticed a few hours later that the outbox was empty and the email went to the recipient.  Also, a few accounts that had empty inboxes now had emails.
 
I am just in the process of phasing out my XP computer running Outlook Express and phasing in a new Win 8.1 computer.
 
I really can't tolerate things like this happening until I am ready.
 
Is there something else I can do other then "Work offline"?
 
Am I missing something?
 
Thanks In Advance.
 
Pete
