IMAP
Hi, this is probably a rather simple question but I am just a newbie here.

I recently installed Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010 on my home desktop. The account works fine, except that when it cannot connect to the server, such as when the internet round here is down, if I try to open the Inbox it gives me a message to say It can't open the folder because it can't connect to the server.

Is there a way I can see what is in the Inbox even when it cannot connect to the server?

If you need to know things like is it IMAP or STMP, etc please tell me where to look to find out.

Thanks - JR
 
You need to work offline when you use an imap account and don't have internet access. Outlook should drop to offline after about 2 minutes - does it?

if you often lose the connection, set outlook offline and configure the send receive settings to check every xx minutes when offline.
 
Thanks for the answer.

I have no found the work off line option.

However if I have it in Online mode and there is no internet connection it doesn't drop to Offline. The bottom bar says send/receive error and it just remains in that state without going to off line mode - even if I wait 10 mins+
