Separate Send & Receive in Outlook?

I have Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6626) SP3 as part of OfficeXP.
Previously, I have been using Outlook Express for email, and there,
when I want to send queued messages but not check for incoming, or
check for incoming but not send queued messages, I can click on the
down arrow next to "Send/Recv", and I have the option to choose
"Receive All" or "Send All". Now, I am switching to Outlook, and I
cannot seem to find that capability. The only choice seems to be to
click on "Send/Receive" which always performs both functions. I must
be missing something, because it seems inconceivable to me that
Outlook is less "powerful" than Outlook Express. Is there a setting
somewhere I need to make that will turn on a down arrow and present a
choice between Send and Receive? Thanks.
 
Open Outlook and at the top there is a TOOLS button,
click that and you have the options to send all, receive
all, or do them individually.

Enjoy!

Thanks for your response. In the version of Outlook I have, clicking
on Tools>Send/Receive offers these options: "Send All" and "Send and
Receive All". There does not seem to be an option "Receive All" (that
is, receive but not send). Below those two is a list of my email
accounts, but clicking on any of them seems to generate both send and
receive functions. At some point I will undoubtedly upgrade to a newer
version of Office, and perhaps that will include the choices you have.
 
Shamefaced, I hereby acknowledge that I asked this same question a
year or so ago when working with a different computer. Now,
configuring a new computer, I had forgotten the answer I received
then, and so I asked the same question again. I apologize for that.
For those who may also need it, here's the answer I got a year ago,
and it works:

Have you tried creating a new Send/Receive Group for this? Go to
Tools |
Send/Receive Settings | Define Send/Receive Groups and set up the
"Receive
All" group there.
