vista mail asks

When I first start Vista mail a popup asks me if I want to find my
connection on this phone number or should it dial another number. When I
click on newsgroups I get the same message and have to answer and when I
click back to my inbox I get the popup question again and I have to click it
repeatedly. It asks if it should dial another connection that is no longer
on the computer. How can I kill this damned message? I switched to Live
Mail but it does the same thing with that so I'm back with mail.

It would have been helpful if you disclosed what type of Internet
connection you have, dial-up or broadband?

Thanks but.... When I follow your instructions under connections there
isn't a check box for"always connect to this acct.". It doesn't matter
because within 20 seconds the connections screen grays out and mail crashes.

Chances are, that mail account is corrupted. Delete the account,
restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account.
