Hi

I use a LAN while connected from Office and [very few times] a dial up
connection from home.

I've setup multiple POP3 accounts in outlook -

and

in "Tools" -> "Email Accounts" -> "View or change existing e-mail
accounts" -> .... -> "More Settings" -> "Connection" tab, I've chosen
"**connect using my Local Area Network**"

However, for some reason Outlook regularly fires a **dial up
connection** when trying to retrieve mail - while I am ALREADY
connected on the LAN

So I end up **not** retrieving mail from **some POP3** accounts

I've checked and re checked the setups for **these pop3** accounts

So :

- Is there a way I can disable the dial up connection totally. If yes
how ?

- are there any better solutions

- I want outlook **not** to dial up at all - even if the LAN is
temporarily down

Thanks in advance
 
Go to control panel, internet options, connections - tick "never dial a
connection".
