Outlook is in my start-up folder and is set to 'automatically dial during a background send and receive' so that as soon as I start up my computer, it connects to the Internet, via my Broadband connection, automatically and does a send and receive. The 'hang up when finished with a manual send and receive' box is NOT checked
When that first send and receive is carried out, on start up, it automatically disconnects from the Internet. It also does the same for scheduled send and receives. However, if I do a manual send and receive (or access the Internet from my browser) it stays connected and subsequent scheduled send and receives do not then result in disconnection
Can anyone tell me how to stop my initial connection from being dropped?

You must at least provide your Outlook version and the connection type you
designated for your mail accounts as well as how many mail accounts are in
your profile and what type.

...and why you have configured Outlook to dial when you have broadband.
