   MS Office/Outlook 2016

   I have a metered connection to the internet. Every time I turn on my PC and start Outlook, there is a pop-up box that says "we see you are on a metered connection. You are working locally. " Then I click on the "connect anyway" button in the pop-up box.

   I want to go to settings and fix this once and for all. Yes, I want Outlook to connect to the internet over my metered connection, WITHOUT haviung to clik on 'connect' every day,

   The advice on the internet is to go into windows settings and to turn-off "I connect to the internet over a metered connection." What use is that? I affects all of the software on the PC and how that software runs. I want to pre-authorize outlook only.
