connection for e-mail

Hi, i hope someone can help!
When i open windows mail i get a message saying 'Connecting to broadband
connection' at the top of the box and inside the box 'WAN Miniport
(PPPOE)...' I get this message even though i'm already connected to IE
through a wireless connection. This PPPoE connection seems to be on a list
in the 'connect to' option of the start panel but MY wireless network option
states 'connected'. I hope this makes sense to someone. Help greatly
apprechiated.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Connection.
Either select the LAN connection or leave this box unselected, in which
case it will use IE's connection.
