For Outlook Express, I am using XP with SP3. Does anyone have any suggestions
on how to disconnect the internet connection after checking email?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Outlook Express/ Tools/ Options, under the Connection Tab/ Dial-up
Check "Hang up after sending and receiving".

You can also double-click on bottom-right of status bar (blank when
idle, or with OE icon & "Checking mail" while receiving messages) to
bring up the status Window, and Check "Hang up when finished".
