I can't really help without more information from you.
What type of accounts are these? What type of authentication do they
require? Most ISP's require you to be on their backbone to authenticate to
their server. Therefore, one connection will likely only be able to
authenticate to one mail server. To authenticate to others, you'd need to
switch to their backbone.

area network' and have tried it both with and without the 'connect via modem
when Outlook is offline' box checked.  Either way, whilst the connection -
once established - stays on now (Outlook doesn't seem to give you the option
which Explorer gives you of 'connect automatically' to tick), I get an error
message - before the connection is in place - saying that my server cannot
be found.  Once the connection is established, it then goes on to check the
other 3 accounts, but not mine.  However, I can then do a manual send and
receive on my account without problem.
