I can not find a reason why this is doing this.
i close outlook using the close X button in the upper right corner or by
going to File--Exit. But Outlook continues to download and notify me of
emails even though the program is closed.

When i open task manager Outlook is still running. Thus why its downloading
emails.
BUT
why is outlook still running even though i have closed it.

Very strange for me as i have never seen outlook do that before.

I am using active sync for my phone but sync isnt active unless the phone is
plugged in, which it rarely is.

could this be why its doing this ?

I have to use Task Manager and use 'end task' on outlook for it to stop
downloading emails.

can someone please help me here, i have checked thru ALL options in outlook
and there is nothing about "continue to work when program is closed" or
something like that.

Mr. Tillman -


Thank you very much for your response.
i was wondering if that yucky Norton or Sync was causing it.
it will go thru the list and see which of those i have, and which was
causing the problem.

Symantec products are known to not play well with Outlook, but if you have a
PDA cradled, Outlook certainly continues to run.
