In an attempt to manage my email instead of have it manage me, I only want to receive email about 3 times a day. I want to perform the seemingly simple task of disabling the auto send/receive function in Outlook like I've done in the past but since we're on an Exchange server at my office I can't. No matter what settings I have in my Send/Receive Settings box, the Exchange server overrides my settings and I constantly get messages. One solution I've heard is to work offline but that makes my calander unavailable to other employees and makes me unable to see others' availability as well when scheduling meetings. I'm guessing there's a setting on the Exchange Server that is something along the lines of "Allow members to customize send/receive settings" or "Automatically send/receive for all members" or something like that, that basically causes the Exchange server to disregard user settings. Does that exist? If so, where is the setting and what is it called? If not, is there another way I can configure Outlook 2003 to only receive messages when I execute the command?

Close Outlook, and only open it 3 times a day. Since you are on Exchange, you calendar is available at all times.
