Live Does Send Receive of Email When Disabled.

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.
