Outlook 2000 had a setting wherein you could include or exclude an email in
the send/receive process. I'm not seeing where that option is in Office
Outlook 2003.

If an certain email address that is listed in an email account setting
doesn't exist the send/receive process fail entirely...for that one and all
other accounts. This doesn't seem normal

What do you mean if an "email address listed in an email account setting
doesn't exist?"
Clarify the problem you hare having.
Automatic polling settings are in Tools > Send/Receive > Send/Receive
Settings > Define Send/Receive groups...

Thanks for the info regarding Define Send/Receive groups. That's helpful.

As for the other issue, in order to forward a certain email address to a
Gmail account I had to delete it as an email address in order to forward it
to the Gmail account. So that address that I had set up as an email account
in Outlook didn't really exist anymore. I guess this is how it works. Not
sure. At any rate because that account was still trying to send/receive
(that's why I wanted to disable it, rather than delete it) Outlook got
"stuck" at that address and wouldn't process the other accounts.
Hopefully this makes some sense.

Forward an email address?
Do you mean forward a message?
Sorry. This just makes no sense.
I would expect that if you manage to get a message stuck in your Outbox,
Outlook will stop polling until you sort it out.
