With Outlook Express open, go to "Tools", "Accounts" on the dropdown menu.
Highlight the account in the popup window a,d select "Properties" on the
side panel. Select "Connections" in the tab. The checkbox "Always connect to
this account using:" should not be checked so that Outlook Express will use
the same connection as Internet Explorer. Probably you will find that it is
checked so that it will only use whatever the previous connection was that
is shown beside the check box. Click "Ok" on all the boxes to return with
the new settings. Close down Outlook Express and then restart Outlook
Express and it should connect with the same settings as IE.
