Outlook error on dialup

Hi all

Keep getting a connection to server failure when dialing
up.

If I press "send&receive" Outlook dials up and once the
connection is established gives me an error saying it
cannot find the pop or smtp server.

If I click S&R again without having hung up, it works
just fine.

Any clues ?
 
OL is trying to check before the connection is completely established, it
sounds like. Don't know if this will work for you, but my preference has
always been to connect manually to the Internet and have Outlook work with
the existing connection - then manually disconnect from the Internet when I
wish.
 
This is what I am doing at the moment to solve the
problem.

It is just so nice to click S&R get the mails and be
disconnected.

Hope somedody as an answer.

Thanks

connection type, and automatic polling settings.

OK, so we now know the mail account type SMTP/POP3. Does your mail account
require you to authenticate to your server?
1. Connection type is what you specified in the Connection Tab for the Mail
Account when you configured it.
2. Polling interval is what you've specified for an automatic Send/Receive
in Tools > Send/Receive

Hi Russ,

I'll have a look tomorrow at those settings (machine is
not with me) and start a new thread with "ATT RUSS -
Outlook" as subject, if that is OK.

Thanks so far.

I'd just start a new thread without my name on it so someone else can jump
in. I'll be working a 36 hour shift tomorrow and won't be in the newsgroups.
The more specific information you can provide about the details of your mail
account configuration the better. This is not usually an Outlook problem.
It's usually a problem with your mail server that we may not be able to
solve from this end.
