Greg Giles said:connect using my phone line is checked, or rather a "dot" is in it,
the only other places to put a "dot" are, connect using my local area
network(LAN) and connect using internet explorer or a 3rd party
dialer, within properties there are numerous options, one that does
NOT exist is an option to "hang up after sending and recieving",
However i am not dissconnected if i click on send and recieve
manually after the auto one starting outlook????
Russ Valentine said:Behaving as designed. When you set up automatic polling with a Phone Line
connection, Outlook will manage that connection and hang up after each
automatic poll under the assumption that dial up users do not want to remain
online after an unattended poll and rack up extra connection charges.
If that is not what you want, select another connection type, like LAN.
Outlook will not manage that.

You're looking in the correct place. What options do you have
checked?
Greg Giles said:Thanks for your reply Brian. I have found the option to hang up after
sending and recieving and it is not checked(cant believe i didnt see
it before!). When i open outlook the broadband dialler comes up, i
click this a send and recieve is done then it hangs up!
Russ Valentine said:No, I am not a Microsoft representative.
I explained all this in my first post. Outlook manages phone line
connections (which means it will disconnect it after an automatic poll so
you don't stay online and incur extra connection charges).
Outlook will not manage a LAN connection (which is always online and thus
requires no management). The LAN setting has nothing to do with your actual
connection capability. If you do not have a LAN and have only a dial up
connection, the LAN setting will revert to your dial up connection once it
finds no active LAN connection.
