I have outlook express 6 and it has recently been acting up. For some
reason
it disconnects my internet connection when I open outlook express. It also
disconnects my internet connection when I chose to 'send and receive all'
from the drop down 'Tools' menu. Do you have any suggestions to rectify
this?
Thank you.
