Hope someone can help me with this problem.
Under send/receiving email (I'm using Outlook Express), I have my option to
automatically check mail every three minutes. I notice that if I leave OE
running for example minimized, it does check for incoming mail but at some
point, it stops checking and freezes up. I notice in the lower right hand
status bar shows "connecting" but nothing happens. The only option I have
at that time is to do a control/alt/delete and end the program. Anyone have
an idea as to what I can do to resolve this issue?
I'm using XP Home SP, and Internet Explorer 6.0.29 SP2. TIA...RW

Change it to ten minutes or more.
