Hi,
Try this, in Mail go to Tools -> Accounts -> Mail -> Properties -> Connection ->I think there's a tick box in there called something liek "use this connection" untick it and click OK and close and close Mail.

Re: Microsoft Mail with Vista

Have you checked that the "Never Dial a Connection"option in InternetExplorer>Tools>Internet Options has been selected? (Or "Dial when a network connection is not present" if you're using a USB modem rather than a router).
You may also have to go into your network connections from the control panel (can't remember exactly how to get there as I'm not infront of a Vista machine at the moment)and make sure that your dial up connection is not set as default.  If you use a USB modem you may need to set its connection as the default.  If you use ethernet just make sure that you don't have anything under dial up connections set as default.

Missed this when I read it first.  This usually means that it's trying to connect via a VPN.  If you've any VPNs set up on your system make sure that they're disabled or not set as a default connection.
Check under Control Panel>Network and Sharing Centre>Manage Network Connections and see if anything is listed under Virtual Private Networks

Re: Microsoft Mail with Vista

Well i finally got it sorted ,Microsoft had no answers and 4 go's at Dell i finally got someone who understood Vista ,she checked all my settings and agreed they were correct ,she even checked my Linksys router settings and as the Laptop was brand new we both felt it was best to reboot it 20 min later it was up and running fine ,so guy's i can't tell you what was wrong ,but thank's for the help.
