I think that this is a problem internal to wininet- something internal is incorrectly flagged as connected, so no further attempt at connection is made.

Try this code before calling SendMail-

DECLARE INTEGER InternetAttemptConnect IN WinInet.dll Integer
llConnected = InternetAttemptConnect(0)=0

I have a fear that this function will incorrectly return 0 even if the computer is not connected, but if WinInet knows there is no connection, this will invoke one.
