Can I set up Outlook to only send email for some account, but not receive its messages?

Question

Due to some changes in our company, one of my colleagues wants to send emails using a colleague's email address, but not receive any emails. When I configure Outlook with an IMAP account, I'm prompted for both incoming and outgoing servers.

How do I set up Outlook to only send, but not receive emails?

Answer 1

Outlook has Send and Receive Groups, with appropriate checkboxes to enable and disable Incoming and Outgoing options when you do a Send and Receive.

I don't have Outlook installed on this machine, but it's under the Accounts area, or Tools menu on older versions.

Answer 2

Select the "Send/Receive" Tab within Outlook select "Send/Receive Groups" drop down Menu Select "Define Send/Receive Groups" Click Edit Select Each configured account then uncheck "Receive mail items" under Account Options.
