Automatic Dial-up

[Guest]

I'm running MS Office 2003 on XP Pro.
In Outlook, when I click "send/receive", it immediately tries to execute the
send/receive tasks without initiating the dial-up connection if I'm not
already connected. Where is the option to get it to dial if not already
connected? If I am already connected it is fine.

You neglected to post your mail account type and the connection type you
selected for it. Outlook 2003 was not designed for dial up connections.

It's a POP3 account type. What do you mean about the "connection type"?

Look in the settings you specified for your account.
