Continuing dial-up disconnect issue

[Mark]

I still have the problem noted below in an earlier post to this group. Can
anyone help me?

I've recently tried to set up Outlook on a new Windows XP (SP2 home version)
account with the
same settings as my old account. I haven't been successful in finding the
control that allows my Outlook initiated dial-up connection to stay
connected until I close
Outlook (or choose to manually disconnect). Currently the new account
disconnects automatically after the "send/receive" process. The goal is to
connect when "send/receive" is initiated and stay connected. My old
configuration did this, and it seems as though all applicable settings in
Windows and Outlook are the same in the new account. Does anyone
know where I can find this control?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Set the connection type of your mail account to LAN instead of Phone Line.

I tried your idea. Setting Outlook to "Connect using LAN" and "Connect via
modem when Outlook is offline"....also Windows connection is set to: "dial
whenever network
connection is not present". The result is Outlook won't dial the connection
and consequently can't find the mail server. An earlier tip by Vince
Averello suggested your same idea, but suggested not to use the "connect via
modem when outlook is offline" option. Regardless, modem box checked or
unchecked, the resulting failure is the same. Also, the configuration of
the original (target) account that has the desired connection qualities is a
dial-up connection. There must be something else wrong.

It works everywhere else. The LAN setting always forces a dial up when a
connection is not present.
You really haven't posted any information that would permit anyone to help.
Outlook version, mail account type, automatic polling settings are all in
play here.
Current versions of Outlook are no longer designed for dial up connections.

If I understand you correctly, current versions of Outlook have automatic
polling settings that don't allow the connection properties I'm looking for?
Or have I not supplied enough information? Would posting specific current
Outlook polling configuration settings help? Or should I pursue why the LAN
connection fails? What information is needed?

My version is: MS Office Outlook 2003 (11.6359.6408) SP1

Mail account type is: Pop/SMTP (Default)

Although I found no reference to "Automatic Polling" I'm assuming that's
what Outlook refers to as "Send/Receive" properties. In
Tools/Send-Receive/Send-Receive Settings/Define Send-Receive Groups, all
accounts are set NOT to schedule automatic send/receive. All boxes
referring to this are unchecked.

Thanks for your time,

Mark

This will be difficult. Outlook 2003 is a version where they no longer made
attempts to have Outlook manage phone line connections and handed those
chores off to the IE dialer. Try setting an automatic polling interval first
to see if that changes anything. Beyond that, you'll need to look at your
settings for the IE dialer and operating system.
