Help with Outlook XP stops checking POP3 account when another PC is logged in
I understand the annoyance of having that window up, but I know of no way of
making it go away except dismissing it manually. On the bright side, as
long as it doesn't need to dial a different number to connect to the other
accounts Oulook XP will check those accounts even though that dialog is up.
The problem, of course, is that the account that displays that dialog won't
be checked again until you dismiss the dialog...
