Yes, as I mentioned, all my other Internet-requiring programs (including
Windows Mail for sending this newsgroup message and Internet Explorer) are
working fine. Only Outlook chokes. And it only happens if I change networks.
I've never seen it lose a working connection, even over a few days of use
including standby and hibernate modes.

Why would this happen? Is this a new problem in 2007? New problem with
Vista?

Thanks,
Colin

After furious head scratching, WebColin asked:

| On my Outlook 2007, when I switch networks (say from wired to
| wireless), often but not always my Outlook 2007 can no longer
| download messages (using IMAP, running on Windows Vista). All other
| Internet functions work, so I don't think it's a networking issue. It
| seems confined to Outlook.
|
| I have noticed that when it's working the "Connect to SERVERNAME"
| option is available under the file menu. When it's not working, this
| option is grayed out. Somehow, this is clearly related to the
| problem, but whether it's a symptom or the cause, I don't know.
|
| How can I re-activate that option so I can try to re-connect to my
| IMAP server? I think if I can do this, I will have fixed my problem.

| Thanks for any help,
