OE equivalent function

[KD]

Hi,
This has probably been asked before but searches of the MS website and
Google searches are getting me nowhere so here goes ...

Is there an equivalent setting in Outlook 2002 for the Outlook Express
'Include this account when checking for new messages'. I only want to
receive email from 1 of the 3 accounts that I have set up (POP forwarded via
Spamcop) but I want to be able to retain the ability to send mail via each
one. So far I have simply put incorrect POP3 server names in the account to
make it fail but I'm getting a bit bored of the error status box. In OE 6 I
simply deselected the 'Include this account ...' option and it worked
perfectly. For the life of me I cannot find any results on the MS site,
Google or Outlook help .. am I just using the wrong search terms or does
this functionality not exist ?

Thanks,
Keith

Roady,
You are an absolute star - I was beginning to wonder where on earth that
feature might be hidden. Woes now over.

Thanks very very very much,
Keith

Seems like Martin Hobbs (earlier posts) was just unlucky
