I mean start - log off -switch users (XP)
They're POP/SMTP accounts using dial up access.
It has worked well in the past?

"Dial up access" is not a connection type you can specify for your mail
account.
Which did you specify?

It is a single dial-up account at a local Internet service provider (ISP) and a 56-Kbps modem. Is this what you mean?
I used to be able to to establish a connection logged in to XP as user A, then leaving the connection up switch users to user B and download mail from the same provider but a different email account. This would allow me to dial in just the once.

No, no, no and no.
I asked what you specified when you set up the mail account. Just look and
see if you don't remember.
