Making e-mails webmail only

I know I've done this before but I must be having a senior moment.

I use Outlook Express and I have two e-mail addresses. One of them is used when I don't want replies (e.g. if I use it for a competition or register to use a site but I don't want them to bombard me with advertising etc.)

How can I stop this one coming through automatically with my other e-mails and have it come through to webmail only so that if I want to check them I have to go onto webmail.

Hope that makes sense.

    Just go into the Accounts section in Outlook Express and delete the account details for the one you only want to access via webmail.

    In Outlook I think you have an option to leave the account there but never synchronise with it, but not sure if that's there in OE.

    Thanks fwor.

    I went to Accounts > Properties and under General there was a tick box that said "include this account when receiving mail or synchronising". I unticked it (I think that's what I did before but the old brainbox is playing up today!) so hopefully they wont come through to OE anymore but can just be checked on webmail.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
