unable to disable auto send/receive

[b***@gmail.com]

In an attempt to manage my email instead of have it manage me, I only
want to receive email about 3 times a day. I want to perform the
seemingly simple task of disabling the auto send/receive function in
Outlook like I've done in the past but since we're on an Exchange
server at my office I can't. No matter what settings I have in my
Send/Receive Settings box, the Exchange server overrides my settings
and I constantly get messages.


One solution I've heard is to work offline but that makes my calander
unavailable to other employees and makes me unable to see others'
availability as well when scheduling meetings.


I'm guessing there's a setting on the Exchange Server that is
something
along the lines of "Allow members to customize send/receive settings"
or "Automatically send/receive for all members" or something like
that,
that basically causes the Exchange server to disregard user settings.
Does that exist? If so, where is the setting and what is it called?
If
not, is there another way I can configure Outlook 2003 to only
receive
messages when I execute the command?

Close Outlook, and only open it 3 times a day.

Since you are on Exchange, you calendar is available at all times
