How do you intend to pickup your mail without the modem dialing out?

You can change it so that you have to manually ask the airport modem to 
dial out using the airport admin utility, clicking on the button to 
show all settings, then Internet and uncheck Automatically dial out. 
Now you will have to select the airport icon in the menu bar, the name 
of your connection and Connect. You can also do the same and select 
Disconnect when you are finished.

That is for the internal modem and not the one in the abs.
