Exclude An Email Account From Receiving Emails Microsoft Outlook

In Microsoft outlook I wanted to be able to include or exclude an account from receiving mail as I used to with outlook express.

In outlook express all you needed to do is go to tools account settings then double click on the account and under the general tab you can tick "Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing".

 

 

In Microsoft outlook, go to Tools, Send/Receive, Send/Receive Settings, Define Send/Receive Groups.

Click edit and you will see all your accounts on the left.

Click on the one you want to disable then untick Receive mail items.

 

 

If you would like to create shortcut for this read on.

Open Outlook, on the top home tab, right click on New Group

If new group is not there right click on a blank spot at the top choose customize the ribbon.

 Under choose commands from select Custom Tabs and Groups (main tabs)

Highlight Home (Mail) and down the bottom  click the button labelled New Group it should create a New Group (custom) under  Home (mail).

Under choose command from select  All Commands

Search and highlight Define Groups and press add in the middle of the two columns, but make sure that under Home (mail) you select New Group (custom) first, and then click OK.

Now at the top under new group you should see define groups.

Double Click on it, then edit, then on the left click on the account you want to manage, then untick receive emails.

Whenever you want to receive mail re tick the box.
