Outlook Express 5 disconnects whenever I try to send or receive e-mail.
{short description of image}
This walk-through disables Outlook Express's ability to dial into the Internet. It solves the problem of Outlook Express terminating the current connection and then re-connecting 'before' it will send e-mail or check for new e-mail.

If your Outlook Express is disconnecting 'after' it has checked for new mail or 'after' you have sent a e-mail this walk-through will not help you.

This walk through only works with Microsoft Outlook Express.

Step 4 : Click one time on the "Connection" tab and click one time on "Always connect to this account using" to remove the check mark from the small white box . Click one time on the "Apply" button and then click the "OK" button.
