741955 2009-01-25 19:38:00 Recently when I access Outlook Express it always greets me with a fault warning - it is unable to access my server.
When I hit the icon again it always works the second time.
I use XT and have an independent icon to access my server (Slingshot) before I decide if I want to use Mozilla for general browsing or go to my mail through Outlook Express.
I'm out of ideas.

Yep. Dialup.
It has only started this odd behaviour lately. Just now (being awkward) it worked perfectly first time.

741959 2009-01-26 10:01:00 So you initiate connection first via Dial-Up Networking, then run OE, or do you let OE start the connection?

I recall there's an option under the DUN (or modem) connection settings to log the progress of the connection to a file. Not having a modem, I can't find this (Advanced setting somewhere?), but if you can & take a look at the file, it might indicate why things aren't going right first time.
