OE6 disconnects me

[zencatt]

I have 2 email accounts I use with Outlook Express 6-
hotmail and my ISP email (highstream). About 80% of the
time my internet connection is lost while OE is
downloading new messages. I have no other disconnection
problems. The highstream is a POP3 account and must be
configured right since it does work 2 out of 10 times it
doesn't disconnect 1st. Running Windows98 1st ed.

Hi, Zencatt -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
