When an anti-virus program scans e-mail it typically presents itself to
OE as the mail server, then the anti-virus talks to the real mail
server. So the anti-virus needs to be set to use any open Internet
connection and not be tied to using the dial-up

Hello Jim.
Thanks for your response. Just an update: On my home computer i have
Outlook
express, IE 7 and PC Cillin (anti-virus), on my work computer i have
Outlook
express, IE 7 and Norton. I can cnnect to the internet using IE 7 on
both
machines. When i try to send/receive on my work computer - no
problems. When
i try send/recieve on my home computer, it doesn't recognise any
connection
other than a dial-up connectin irrespective of the settings in Outlook
express or IE 7. I think the difference is the anti-virus. I will
contact
Trend and see if this makes sense to them.
Later
Tim

Look in Tools/Options/Connections on Outlook Express menu and make
sure that
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express share identical setups. Then
test if
your Bluetooth setup works. That of course assumes you understand
how to
"pair" a Bluetooth connection and that your setup is correct for
which you
would get better help in a networking newsgroup rather than one for
Outlook
Express. Your question really relates to a problem with your
networking
connection.

When i connect to the internet with my bluetooth dongle through my
phone,
i
am unable to connect through outlook express. I can access the
internet
using
IE and download e-mail using Thunderbird. Is there any way to get
express
to
recognise the active connection which is the bluetooth connection?
Thanks
