Outlook 97 does not allow me to automatically check for and download my emails, it tells me it will only do it if i am connected to a server by LAN.
Is there any addin that will allow me to do this, just on a stand alone computer.

or does later versions of outlook allow me to do this

No version of any e-mail software will allow you to check for/receive e-mail while "off line."

E-Mail only becomes local when it is downloaded to your computer (you can work offline from your local e-mail); you cannot communicate with your e-mail provider (server or ISP) without being connected.

Yes, use outlook express or MS outlook 2000
after you setting your email account, go tools --> option--> internet mail--> autoatic check internet mail for 1 min or other. But make sure you are online!:)
