I get a message box when trying to open my Windows Mail. It states Dial up
Connection, which service do you want to use, automatically connect, connect,
settings, cancel. This occurred when I downloaded Internet Explore 8. I
used to have a dial up connection in virginia, however I am high spped
Internet here in Michigan. I can not send or receive emails now, and can't
get rid of that box.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Connection.
What does it show for connection?
You should leave that setting unselected, in which case WM will use
whatever connection IE uses. If no improvement, try selecting the
the Local Area Network connection on that same screen.

Also, under Tools, Options, Connection, the first box should be checked,
and the second box unchecked.
If all that checks out, but you still have the problem, the account may be corrupted.
Delete the account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account.
