is windows mail the same as outlook express? as I have just bought a new
laptop running vista and I can connect to the internet but when I try to
access my email it opens a dialogue box which is trying to connect me using a
dial up connection when I am on broadband ISP.

No, it's the replacement for Outlook Express but often works with the
same setup instructions. Outlook Express won't work under Vista.

Try this under Internet Explorer: Click on Tools, then Internet Options,
then Connections, then the circle before Never dial a connection, then
Apply, then OK.

Then under Windows Mail, click on Tools, then Options, then
Connection. If there is no check mark in the box before Ask before
switching dial-up connections, click on this box and then Apply.
If there is a check mark in the box before Hang up after sending and
receiving, click on this box and then Apply. Click on OK.

Also, in addition to Roberts advice, go to tools>accounts>select your
account>properties>connection tab, remove the check mark from "always
connect using">Apply/OK.

Colin, please try to keep to one of the threads, not both.

Before you go to the tools menu, try working offline, on the file menu>work
offline.
