53446 2002-06-09 10:48:00 I am experiencing problems accessing my 'Outlook Express'. I am able to log onto the internet ok, but as soon as I try to access my mail it promptly disconnects me, this is also the same if I am to go directly to Outook Express. My modem dials up in the normal way and on the bottom right hand side of the outlook dialog box it shows 'connecting' then 'checking messages' and then it disconnects.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?

53447 2002-06-09 11:15:00 Sounds like you have the option hang up after sending and receiving ticked. Open outlook express click tools..options..connection tab and untick the hang up after sending and receiving. Guest (0)
53448 2002-06-09 11:15:00 Open OE (and suffer the disconnection!) Goto <Tools> <Options> and select the <Connection> tab. Uncheck the 'Hang up after sending and receiving' checkbox and hopefully fixed! Guest (0)
53449 2002-06-10 10:26:00 Thanks for your help - yes it now works - although I'm sure I never ticked that box in the first place...I can't believe something so small and easy to fix could be so annoying!! Thanks again.
