Amazing how often this one comes up, even after 6 years of dealing
with it, it will still throw me for a loop occasionally.
OP: Your best bet is to simply uncheck the 'always connect using' box,
then it will behave like a normal application and simply use the
connection available. Bear in mind that most email accounts from isps
will not let you send unless you're connected via their network
though. You may have to set all accounts to send using wanadoo's smtp
server for outgoing mail.
