It's not specific to OE, Gaz, it's just that ntl world cut you off on dialup if you're inactive too long (can't remember the actual cutoff time). This is a common practice with 24/7 ISPs.
The solution, as Gaz said, is to set your mail reader to check for messages before the cutoff time elapses. You're not allowed to do this, of course, and I didn't say it, and I wouldn't advise you to do it, but who can complain because you want to check your email?
Er, Mick, if you're downloading, your connection _is_ active.
