    Microsoft Windows Search Protocol Host

    Hi Alan,

    The possible root cause for that dialogue box is that, the Search Indexer is trying to index everything that your Outlook client has access to, which would include all those accounts that you have accessed.
    If that's the case, then you get yet another reason to do a profile cleanup, especially if you aren't going to access those accounts anymore. It's just wasting resources on your machine.

    To stop this, you have to remove the account from the mail accounts in Control Panel:

    • Go to Control Panel then User Accounts.
    • Choose Mail (Microsoft Outlook)
    • Click Show Profiles and remove all the profiles that you don't need.
    For added reference you can also check this
    link
    coming from out TechNet site.

    Give us an update on what happens.
