Yeah, I deliberately installed the Anniversary Upgrade, but I didn't expect it to start downloading emails that I already get on Gmail, through Outlook Express on a WinXP kept around mostly for that purpose, and on my phone. I didn't need yet another copy downloaded.
I have successfully turned that off, though I wasn't sure of the right settings, seeing as I had previously barred the Windows Email app from accessing email (in an attempt to allow calendar, which does now work, I think).
