Outlook XP "Receive & Sending" at startup

[Serville 0]

Is there any way to make Outlook-XP to avoid receiving & sending whenever I launch the program ?

It seems there is a lag of about 3-4 seconds everytime I open it.

I remember there is a setting for this the last time I use it, but I couldn't find it anymore. Outlook Express can disable this feature.
