    When you click the configure button it should bring up a dialog box with tabs at the top. One should be connection.

    When I click the 'Configure'-button, what I see is
    simply a 'Modem Configuration'-window, which does not offer the choice of the instruction that you mention.

      Although my route via Properties is slightly different, I can confirm that the setting for 'Hang up if idle for .... minutes' is 'Never'.

      Thank you for taking so much trouble with your screen-captures.

        I think we need to go back to the starting message.

        an instant after he clicks Read Mail, the telephone-line is disconnected


        If he is unable to even stay connected then configuring options such as hang up after receiving emails or hang if idle... are irrelevant. The guy isn't even getting that far!

        Has he tried system restore to an earlier time prior to the problem happening?

        No, but that may well be the next step.

        If for any reason that is not a practical proposition, might the answer be to reinstall IE ?

          Tell him to try IE with OE shutdown.

          I understand that, in the interval that has passed, a local computer-repairer has found that the ISP-settings were wrong.  How they came to go wrong, having originally been correct, I have not yet been told.

          However, I am grateful to all that have helped with this topic.

          Turn off auto-disconnect after receiving E-mail.

          Thank you, but that was never the difficulty.

          And did you turn it off or just assumed you didn't have to?
