I believe there is an option in Microsoft Outlook that allows you to connect via dialup and options for hanging up when finished. I do not think that there is a way to tell outlook to check for email at a certain time, only at set intervals or not at all. a seemingly simple work around would be to have here open outlook before she goes to bed, and have her hit the button to send/ receive the email, outlook will do its thing, and when done it will hang up.
