When I setup my POP3 email account in Outlook 2003, it was automatically
setup to connect thru LAN, even though my Internet connection is thru 56k
modem--at least right now. I do have a built in LAN, but it is not
connected at this time. I want to be able to poll for mail. Should I leave
it set to LAN and check the modem box to connect when off line? Currently I
manually dial my ISP--settings for dial up in Internet Explorer are set to
never dial. Do I change this to always dial or will I end up sometimes
having 2 dialers running--one from Network connections and one from Internet
Explorer.

This is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to get Outlook to work
the way I want and my ISP is no help. Any info would be appreciated. I
cannot get broadband in my area yet so that is not an option. I do plan to
setup small home network in near future though with 2 other PC's.
 
Dear,
If you are browsing your internet through LAN, then you can set the type of
connection for email as LAN, in your case (dial-up) you must choose "connect
using my phone line" in outlook(Tools - Email Accounts - View or change
existing email accounts(click next) and change - more settings - connection -
click on connect using my phone line ( There you can see dial-up connection
which you have created for your browser - choose that, OK)
