One thing that's changed since I installed the new IE7, is that when I press
Send/Receive in Outlook Express, sending messages with the connection Local
Area Network (as used for my normal email accounts) is not acceptable.

I have to set it to my mail account connection, Any Available _or_ remove
the tick from Always connect to (etc) (under Tools Acounts Internet
Accounts Connection).

Can this be altered so that I use Local Area Network (connection) for all?
