105248 2002-12-11 21:22:00 After checking for e-mails in Outlook Express I get disconnected. The "Hang up after sending or receiving" in Tools/Options is NOT ticked.
This means I have to reconnect if I want to continue on the Internet.
Can anyone tell me how I can receifty this problem.

105249 2002-12-11 22:10:00 Have you checked that it is not a "must click 'apply' then 'OK'" type of problem?

Sometimes you can think because something is checked it must be working but can be misleading. Make sure to click on "apply"

Click on the Mail tab
Select Properties
Selct Connection Tab
Tick the the box "always connect to this account using" make sure the connection you are using is selected in the box underneath.

Thanks but I don't want it to clear down after getting e-mails.
Jim B,
Thanks for you suggestions but it already appears as you suggested.
There is something simple I am missing but what I don't know. Cheers.

105252 2002-12-12 02:56:00 If you get disconnected immediately after receiving your mail then it has to be the "hang up after sending and receiving" setting doing this even though it is not ticked.

If on the other hand it stays connected after receipt of mail but disconnects when you go to IE or web sites than it is due to something else.
