Send/Receive Group options
Send/Receive groups contain one or more of the
e-mail accounts you have set up in
Microsoft Outlook. You can specify different behaviors for each group, such as
the frequency with which Outlook connects to the server to send and receive
messages for it, or how messages are processed when Outlook is online or
offline.
Send/Receive groups can contain any combination of Microsoft
Exchange Server, POP3,
IMAP, and HTTP
accounts, along with accounts from any additional supported server
types.

- Specify whether an account is included when sending/receiving
e-mail messages.
- Specify whether messages should be sent, received, or both, from an
account.
