Outlook keeps returning several errors when sending mail on my laptop.
The situation occurs when I work away from my cable internet
connection. The problem relates to my mail server (SMTP) and the
authentication. Apparently, my ISP does not allow remote access to its
SMTP beyond web mail which does not suffice for me. Outlook represents
the central nexus for my contacts, emails, and other notes used to
archive emails and sync with my PDA phone.

My work situation requires me to setup in different locations with
distinct network environments (and different ISP). Some ISPs require
one to use their SMTP; yet this information is not immediately
available to me. How do I set up Outlook to send email from whatever
location? Sometimes, I am fortunate enough to track the SMTP server
from a system administrator; other times I have to figure it out
myself which takes more time than I have.

My workaround has been to use an Advance SMTP server on my laptop. It
allows me to setup a SMTP mail server for sending email. But the
workaround is unpredictable and often slow. Then I increased the time
out to 5 minute to allow for large attachment. Sometimes, it works
while other times it gives me errors. Some locations are worse in
reliability terms; other locations works flawlessly.

My second question relates to the mail settings under Tools >
Send/Receive. How do I remove the extra entries of Send/Receive
profiles? I have created many Send/Receive Group troubleshooting
these errors and they continue to be listed after I delete from
"Define Send/Receive Group."

Tools > Send/Receive > This List

Again, my clients can not wait for me to get configured before
addressing their needs. Any advice on these scenarios would help me a
great detail.
