Connect automatically in Outlook 2003

[Diane]

I recently decided to use Outlook 2003 (I usually use Outlook Express). This
is for my personal use at home. I have entered my email accounts correctly
and imported mail and addresses etc. I am able to send and receive email. My
query is that when I am offline and then open Office it does not connect
automatically. A box comes up with my Tiscali Broadband details that prompts
me to click 'Dial' to connect. I would prefer it if it would dial
automatically (like most programs). I have searched through various Tools
etc but can't seem to rectify this. Can anyone help????

Obviously setting to Off Line will not connect automatically. You do understand the term "Off Line"

In Outlook, click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Select your account. Click
Change, then More Settings, then the Connection tab. Select the radio
button labeled Connect using my local area network (LAN). Then let Windows
handle the network connection.
