You can keep Outlook closed or you can disable auto send/receive. That's really the only way around i can think of. It isn't designed to disable certain accounts at a time.

I have outlook 2011 on my mac configured for Exchange, Gmail, and Hotmail. &nbsp;However, depending on where I am connecting from, Gmail and Hotmail will not connect sometimes likely due to the network preventing particular port connections.<br />
During these times, Outlook continues to annoy me with a message that it cannot connect. &nbsp;If I choose to do this offline, it will take all the accounts offline which is not necessary. &nbsp;The accounts are configured correctly and will connect when i move to a different network.<br />
Any advice?
