[gui-talk] Disabling accounts in Outlook 2010

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

     With the number of blind people now using Windows 7 and new 
versions of Microsoft Office such as Home and Business we should have 
had an answer to this question by now.

     In  older versions of Outlook there was a check box labeled 
"Include this Account When Sending or Receiving Messages." You could 
check the box if you wanted a particular account to be activated and 
uncheck it when you didn't. We asked this question before but never 
received an answer. We're needing to know how to do this in Outlook 
2010. We've looked all over the ribbon but can't find the setting to do 
this. Whenever Mary checks her e-mail with Outlook 2010 she receives 
mail from both of our accounts and does not want this to happen. We need 
to know the command to tell Outlook 2010 to not include my account when 
she checks her mail meaning that she should only receive her e-mail but 
my account is in Outlook and can be activated in the event there are 
problems with my computer. The recent technology "Melt-Down" we had here 
is exactly why we want both of our e-mail accounts to be available on 
all of our machines but only be active on specific PCS. All the best for 
a wonderful Thanksgiving.
