HOW2 send/SMTP but not fetch/POP?

Re. Windows Live mail
Apparently to send mails from my out-box, I must `sync`?

That's no good, because I don't want to fetch from my POP,
which `sync` would do.

== TIA.

Right-click on the account name in the folder pane and select /Properties/. Deselect /Include this account when receiving mail or
synchronizing/. Then, when you do want to receive, select the account from the dropdown beside the /Sync/ button.

Only if your provider uses "POP before send" as an authentication system.
Unfortunately, I don't think Ildhund's approach will work. I've heard
reports (not tested myself) that WLM syncs periodically, despite the setting
he is referring to. I don't know how to do what you want without disabling
the POP3 access to a given account.

FWIW, I only use WLM for Hotmail and IMAP accounts, primarily because of
issues with POP3 access. And were it not for DeltaSynch required for syncing
Hotmail accounts, I'd not use WLM at all.

No, Norman; what you've heard is that POP mail will download periodically even though /Check for new messages every n minutes/ is
not selected. That's because Deltasync syncs on its own schedule, and if /Include this account.../ is selected, POP mail comes along
for the ride. I've never known POP mail download by itself if that setting is disabled.

While WLM does poll all email accounts periodically on a pre-determined
hard coded schedule (from what I've seen about a few minutes more than an
hour --iirc 71 minutes), it will still abide by the user configuration for
'included' accounts.

As Noel noted, in WLM DeltaSync (note no 'h') operates slightly different
than Pop3 since accessing a folder forces a handshake (not much different
than the Hotmail web UI where changing to another folder and back to the
Inbox will appear to refreshes the message list, though in most cases the
Hotmail web UI's latest incarnation updates immediately without the need to
do so (easily tested by sending a message to yourself or forwarding a piece
of spam to )
