Hi, I can not find the feature to turn off login on the startup of Outlook. It asks for a user, domain, and password. I do have corporate or workgroup setup installed, but not sure if this would have anything to do with the main server asking for a password everytime I login. If so, please let me know and any suggestions on beefing up the speed of sending mail thru ms exchange server. I know about synchronization, but i get an error everytime I try to setup the offline folder. When I hit ok for no changes in Offline Folder Settings/All Folders tab, it exits out of Outlook. Thanks Donny

to get rid of the username, domain, and password prompt when you start Outlook, you need to have your windows userid and password to be the same as your network userid and password. this applies to windows9x OS'es (and i also believe you need to have Client for Microsoft Networks installed in Network Neighborhood along with your login domain name in the domain field for Client for Microsoft Networks). if you have NT or Win2K, you need to be registered in the domain to avoid being prompted.

if you wish to work off-line without logging into the mail server, go into control panel, and then double click on mail. highlight exchange server and click on properties. on the general tab for the When Starting field, select manually control connection state. next time you start outlook, you will be prompted to either connect or work off-line. once that is done, then you should be able to setup a synchronization file so that you have access to your network mailbox contents when working off-line.
