After a crash this morning, Windows Mail in Vista (32-bit) will no longer
automatically connect when I start it. I get a pop-up panel saying that no
internet connection was found, and asking if I want to work offline or try
again. Clicking on "try again" is successful, although automatically being
advised of incoming mail is no longer an option. While still in WM, though,
email works fine. When I restart it, I'm back to the popup. My server's
tech support people could not assist. How do I get back to where I was
yesterday??

In Internet Explorer, click on Tools, then Internet Options, then
Connections, then the circle before Never dial a connection, then Apply,
then OK. Then see if that helps.

My service provider went through that for me as well, and the "never dial a connection" button is selected & grayed out. The other two options below it are grayed out as well.

Any other ideas?
