Starting Outlook

A

ANDERS FLODERUS

I would like to try Outlook instead instead of OE but I can not get
it to work. When I try to read mail, I just don't get any thou it is there
when I try with OE.
It gives no error message, but in the low right corner there is some
sort of ikon with a computer connected to a net with a big red x
over.

My guess is that it is to dumb to know that I am using a phone
modem and not my ethernet connection. I have searched but I can
not find any place to tell it to use the modem.

What can I do?
Thanks for any answer.

That means that you are not connected to the Internet.

Please start by posting your version of Outlook, your connection type (under
Tools, it will appear in your accounts section), and how you set up your
mail accounts.
