I am running Windows Vista Ultmimate with Office 2003.

I have several external hard drives for photo storage as well as system
backups, etc. These drives are not referenced in outlook as far as I can
determine. However,
Outlook will wait for these external drives (Forever) to spin up before
displaying
email or accessing the POP server.

PLEASE is there any way to stop outlook waiting for these disks to spin up?
Thanks in advance!!!

it shouldn't spin them up for checking email but will when you try to save
or send attachments.
