Head to Tools > E-mail Accounts > View or Change existing accounts > Highlight the account you want to change then click Next > Next click the More Settings button, head to the Connection tab and select Connect using my local area network (LAN). Then hit OK to save your changes, then Next to end the wizard interface.

Repeat this for any other e-mail account you may have.

This is where some nasty dialers will try to attack you and run up some really high phone bills to Bulgaria or China . . etc .

. . . . . . . . . since you are not now using the dial-up, you will not be viewing the activity on it much (if at all) and you can get had pretty easily this way . :eek:

BTW: keep Spybot active and make sure to "deselect" all the ignored products from time-to-time to make the dialer's life harder to take advantage of you .
