If you're setting up a new email account in Outlook and want to prevent the Send/Receive error from popping up repeatedly, there's a feature you can use called Send/Receive Groups. This will help you keep your emails organized and prevent errors.

Another way to avoid receiving emails in Outlook is by adding an account as a new POP3 account. To do this, you'll need to create a fake (non-existent) incoming mail server. This will allow you to set up a Send-Only email account that doesn't download any emails from the server.

To set up a Send-Only email account in Outlook, start by going to your registrar's control panel and finding the section where you can add or edit nameserver records. From there, follow these steps:

First, update your nameservers so that Microsoft 365 becomes the DNS host for your domain. This will allow you to send and receive emails using your new account.

Next, add a TXT record with an SPF value to help prevent spam from reaching your inbox. Then, fill in the fields with the values specific to your domain registrar. If you don't find your provider on the list, you can use generic instructions to set up the CNAME and SRV records.

Once you've added these records, navigate back to the DNS section of your registrar's control panel and delete any existing MX records. Then, save your changes and fill in the fields with the values specific to your domain registrar.

By following these steps, you can set up a Send-Only email account in Outlook that will allow you to send emails without receiving any responses. This is especially useful if you're setting up an email account for a company or organization and don't want employees to receive personal emails on their work accounts.
