how to stop Outlook constantly checking for accounts I want offline?

06. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: account set, server details
With recent updates to Outlook I am finding that all my email accounts - whether I want to or not - are being involved in the send and receive process.  I have old mail boxes which I keep as archives.  I don't want these to connect to the server.  So every few minutes I get a message saying
"Mail could not be received at this time
The server for account xxxxxx return dthe error "[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.'  your username/passord or security settings may be incorrect.  Would you like to try re-entering your password?"  No  Yes
I have set up scheduler to exclude these accounts.

If I play around with server information in the account set up, I am blocked - leaving spaces or putting in nonsense does not work.  Either account set up does not save or get the same message again.  If I put the wrong server details then the entire mailbox is deleted.

I am also finding similar issues with aliases - the same message as above.   In this case the password is right.  These are meant to be send only but again I can't set up the account to exclude receive.

Any thoughts?  Anybody else finding this to be a problem?
