If you don't get any error message, then what exactly happens to make
you think that the connection has been lost?

Is the problem with your Hotmail account or another type?

What type of connection to the Internet do you have? Dial-up, Cable,
DSL, Wi-Fi?

My server timeout is set for 1 minute.
I do not get an error message when I lose my connection to the server.
I have to exit the program and then re-enter in order to retrieve the
messages and some times do this more than once. Eventually I receive
all messages

The Server Timeout is how long OE will wait for a response from the
server before OE will consider that the connection to the server has
been lost and give up the send and receive. One to 2 minutes is
reasonable.

Do you get any error message when this happens?

If you try the send and receive again, do the messages eventually all
come through? If so, it's likely a problem with the mail server.

When downloading multiple messages, often my e-mail disconnects from
the server part way through. I have tried increasing my server
timeout but this does not seem to help. Any ideas.
