The occasional space after punctuation would make your message easier to
read beccibax.

You need to ensure that in WM @ the tools menu>accounts>select your
account>properties>connections tab, that "always connect using" is not
selected.

In IE, tools>internet options>connections>select "never dial a connection".

And how does your question pertain to Windows Mail (not Windows LIVE Mail)
in Vista?
