Tools | Options | Connections. Is Hang up after sending and receiving
checked?

Does this happen in IE with OE open but minimized? Does it happen in IE with
OE not open?

My Outlook Express keeps changing to work off line. I recently added an
imap gmail connection and installed Windows SP3. I don't know if these
recent changes have anything to do with this.


I haven't noticed this kind of behavior before. I usually use the
Sand/Recv button at the top of the screen and the option setting for
checking and receiving new messages is set for every 30 min.

Is it normal for OE to keep showing working off line every now and then?
