When I open Outlook Express the grey box to connect comes
up every time.

How do I set up the pc so that when I open Outlook Express
it doesnt offer me the option to connect to the internet.
(I would rather compose an email and then send)

Then when I am ready I connect manually.

Many thanks.

MJ

Go to tools, options, general tab in outlook express - in
the send / receive messages section = take the tick out
of 'send and receive messages at start up'

If this doesn't work then make sure the option 'if my
computer is not connected at this time' - select 'do not
connect'

I hope this works -- good luck
