I'd like to be able to send, but not receive, e-mails from my University account. It's a Microsoft account but with a @universityname.ac.uk suffix. It uses dual authentication and I wonder if that may be part of the problem.
In Outlook 2019, I do the following:
If I send myself a test message from my University account it sends it, but also receives it. Does everyone else stop receiving e-mails when they uncheck receive? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Thanks @Victor Ivanidze
It seems odd that there is an option to do this in the menus of Outlook 2019, but that it's not possible to do it without writing some code?

Hi @portmoon,
what "option to do this" do you mean? Could you please show it?

Hi Victor, I've just been on the phone to microsoft support and they were able to fix my problem. I can now work in offline mode and I have a "send only" option. The problem was that I had multiple accounts in my outlook profile so I have created a new profile with just one account. I'm not sure how to upload screen shots but these are my settings:
1. Open Outlook 2019
2. In "Send/Receive" and "Send/Receive Groups" I have checked "Disable Scheduled Send Receive"
3. In "Send/Receive" and "Define Send/Receive Groups" if I click on "All Accounts" and "Edit" the box beside "Include the selected account in this group" is unchecked
4. I click on "Work Offline" then go to "Home" and "New e-mail"
5. I compose an e-mail to myself (as a test message) and click on send
6. I go to Outbox where the unsent test message is located
7. I press the F9 key
8. The message sends, but I do not receive it
This is what I was trying to achieve. Now I can spend my morning working offline, uninterrupted by new e-mails. I can respond to e-mails from the day before (and send them) without getting distracted by new e-mails that arrive that morning. I think this will (hopefully) make me more efficient!
