Outlook and Wi-Fi

[Les]

Have not been able to figure out how to connect to my
email accounts with Outlook when using Wi-Fi. Outlook
never sees POP3 accounts. Works ok when using dialup.

Wi-Fi: Hotspotzz
Email: ATT
Outlook: IMO

What do I have to change?

What do you have specified as the type of connection in the e-mail account properties? If you have told Outlook to use a modem, the active wireless connection won't make any difference -- tell it to use the LAN connection instead.

The easiest way to switch back and forth is to set your Outlook accounts to use the Internet Explorer connection and change that (Control Panel > Internet Properties) when you switch between wireless and modem.
