How to set Outlook to "Online" mode?

_{Wednesday, October 24, 2012 2:36 AM}

I found some posts about how to do it. "Send / Receive" tab -> inactive "Work Offline". BUT...

I can't find button "Work Offline" on my Outlook...

How do it? Any idea? Thanks in advance.

File->Info->Account Settings->Account Settings->Change->More Settings->General->Manually control connection state->Connect with network

Also below the server tab, there is a check box, uncheck that to be in online mode.

Try this to find work offline button on Send/receive:

control panel >> Mail >> set the account to use cached mode. then in outlook the button for Online and Offline would work.

I'm using imap. My version of Outlook does not show the manually control section under the general tab. Any suggestions?
