Slooooow Startup

[-781-]

Every time I open Microsoft Outlook, it takes about two minutes or so for
the hourglass on my mouse pointer to change to arrow (meaning the
application is ready to use).
I have about 7 Hotmail accounts that are listed in this profile together
with 1 Adelphia.net account which is my main account. I think the reason it
takes too long to initialize is because Outlook is sycronizing folders by
logging onto hotmail. I have only included Adelphia account to be in
SEND/RECEIVE option when I click on it.
I ONLY want hotmail to syncronize when I click on the Hotmail account Group
from Tools>Send Receive>Hotmail which I created and included the 7 Hotmail
accounts to be associated with. However I can't do this.
Every time I open the program it just takes forever to syncronize with all
hotmail accounts and I can't do anything during that time, because the
program seem to be frozen.
Any help with this?
I am running WinXP Pro with Office XP Premium. Connection is Adelphia
cable.(cable connection sucks in this area though. It seems to be a dialup
connection).
Thanks in advance
Gino

No, you can't change Outlook logging into the Hotmail accounts at startup.
Consider yourself lucky, though - most people are unable to get more than
one Hotmail account working, and you've got 7...
