Controlling focus and/or message updates in Entourage 2004

Hi all,

Entourage does this annoying thing where it takes away the focus from
what I am doing when it updates my inbox or anything else.

The inbox may be updating all the time and because the editing cursor
turns into the beachball o' death and makes me wait for it to be done
it can be hard sometimes to compose a new email.

Is there a way to force folder updates into the background so that
focus stays with the open window so that if I am composing a new mail I
can complete that new message without constant interruption?

Thanks,

TMT
