Outlook - Outlook 2003 keeps downloading mail after closing the program
Asked By ke

Even after Outlook is closed, it will frequently continue to download mail
from the web server. As I have it configured to delete the messages from the
web server when down loading them, this prevents me from receiving the
messages on remote computers or BlackBerry. Is there a way to configure so
that it won't check for mail after I've closed the program?

If OL has closed properly it wont have the ability to poll for mail.
Obviously OL is still a running process. (Ctrl+Alt+Del , processess
tab...outlook.exe)
This is often caused by sync software, amongst other things

Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you =

4. COM Add-ins.

6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and =
outgoing mail.
7. Some versions of Skype - check for updates.

This has worked perfectly with Office 2003, Got Office 2007 in May. This process was still working in August and I believe ONE Word document – which does not contain an active Mail Merge menu. And the Outlook initiation window never closes. There appears to be a problem with the interface between Outlook and Word. Is there a setting that will make this work? All documentation and info type: Form letter & Merge to: email & message subject: enter email subject 5. Click OK 6. Outlook causes TWO blank word documents to open.

Re: How to exit Outlook Outlook Add-ons that you have installed for Outlook can keep it alive for awhile. For example, the Personal Folders Backup (PFB) add-on save folder. Obviously it takes some time before the copy operation completes. During this time, Outlook has to remain running for the add-on to perform its tasks. When Outlook loads, it also has to load all the enabled add-ons. If an add-on crashes or hangs on load then Outlook also crashes or hangs. When Outloook exits, it must first unload all the loaded add-ons. If an add-on crashes or hangs on unload then Outlook also crashes or hangs on exit. If the add-on performs some task on Outlook's exit then Outlook has to remain loaded waiting for that add-on to complete
