I have a feeling thers's a simple answer to this, but darned if I can find it
in the help files.

I use a wireless setup for my laptop and it works like a charm.But I cannot
connect to Windows Mail. It seems to only allow me to connect to a dial up
service. Where or how do I get Mail to disregard the dialup connection and
recognize my wireless connection?

Thanks for any info anyone can give or suggest.
 
Open Windows Mail and choose Accounts from the Tools drop down menu. Select
the dialup account and click Remove. Now, set up your e-mail account using
the information given to you by your ISP.

I would suggest that you keep your dial up account in situ, you never know
when you might need it?

To solve your problem go to WM>tools>accounts>mail>select account then
properties>connection tab>remove the check mark from 'always connect using',
apply/ok your way out. WM will then use 'Any Available'.

Slight correction: WM will then use whatever connection Internet Explorer
is configured for.
