    It seems your isp is having connection problems. Try having dialer
    kinternet / ginternet
    up first then open your mailer program. Click the dialer and click view
    log, view data
    rate and check connection if the last line in the log is not connected
    you are not.

    Also check the time out in your modem setup I have set mine set to 300.
    By going on
    the web your maintaining the connection so it does not shut down.
