You can disable "send and receive messages at start up" by going to tools>> options>> general tab.
Most email clients (well most major ones) have an import from outlook feature when you first load them up. Which email client is your sis switching to? Then I might be able to assist you. Not knowing that detail makes it difficult.

2 questions:
(1) My sister uses Outlook and I am helping her with her computer (blind leading the blind). How do I transfer all the emails currently sitting in her Outlook mailbox into a different email client? Do I simply highlight them and forward?
(2) Whenever she clicks on the Outlook icon, Outlook automatically grabs all her emails from comcast.net and puts them into Outlook. How can I turn off this auotmated feature within Outlook?
She has Windows ME.
Not sure of the version of her Outlook Express, sorry about that.
Thanks in advance!
