Send/Receive Hang-up

[Al]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. POP/SMTP, connecting
to dial-up phone line. I'm using the same ISP that I've
been using for years. I don't know what an 'automatic
polling setting' is. I don't lose the connection when
using internet browsers. If I connect to the internet
first, leave the browser open, then open Outlook, it sends
and receives and stays connected.

I have been using Outlook products for years with dial up
and just upgraded with a new computer and Office 2003. Why
does Outlook 2003 hang up after processing the
send/receive? This makes no sense. I do not want to lose
my dial up connection. Outlook Express has a box to check
"Hang up after sending and receiving." Outlook 2003 has a
"Hang up after MANUAL send/receive" and this box is not
checked. (I do not understand why there is a "manual"
specification.)
I have looked everywhere and tried different settings.
What do I do to be able to open Outlook, have it connect,
and stay connected until I decide to end the connection
myself?

After tinkering again -
Send/Receive button
Send/Receive settings
Click "Disable Scheduled Send/Receive"
With this setting, I open Outlook, it doesn't auto dial, I
click Send/Receive, it connects and stays connected.
As usual, these 'new and improved' versions really aren't.
I never 'scheduled' it to disconnect, so I don't know
what I'm disabling except what Microsoft considered to be a
'feature?' I just shake my head. Someone at that company
ought to figure out - "if it ain't broke....."

I don't see where you told me anything. You just asked
questions. My point is that 'Send/Receive' settings didn't
used to have anything to do with the connection. It would
remain online and send/receive at scheduled intervals.
With how it's set now, the connection remains, but I have
to manually send/receive. To have the computer dial in and
then disconnect repeatedly is an inane function, in my opinion.

I told you to look at your automatic polling interval.
Setting an automatic polling interval has forced a poll on launch ever since
Outlook 2002. That feature was in response to users request. Whether Outlook
remains connected is your choice entirely and depends on how you configure
your connection type--which is the other thing I asked you to tell me.
We can't help without your providing enough information.
