Re: servers

Which SMTP server does your work email use, and does it use a
port other than 25?

Option #3 may not be the best for you because you'd need to set up 4
different accounts:

1) for sending with home ID from home
2) for sending with work ID from home
3) for sending with home ID from work
2) for sending with work ID from work.

Assuming you may need to be able to do all 4 of those things, it gets
rather messy.

If you went with option #4, you can do all sending with only 2 accounts.
The reason for that simplicity is because Gmail uses SMTP port 465
which does not get blocked by anyone.
Also, Gmail allows you to use any From address you desire, if you verify
it with them first:

Get back to me, and let me know which way you want to go.

Gary,

Thanks for re-referencing your first post. I had (like a fool) discounted
it as inapplicable the first time through. Second reading shows the error of
my ways. I think your option "3" might be the best way to go. Could you
provide those additional details?

Also, if it helps you understand my situation better:

Home ISP and e-mail host: Bellsouth.net
Work ISP: Comcast
Work e-mail host: Third party

Most perplexing to me is that, since my work ISP and e-mail host are not the
same, based on what everyone says, I shouldn't be able to send on any of my
POP3 accounts, right?

What you experienced is normal. As a general rule, the owner of
the SMTP server must be the same as the one providing your Internet
connection at that moment. For more on this see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

The available workarounds when sending away from home are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask your home ISP if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. If you use the same away-from-home connection frequently, substitute the SMTP
server belonging to that connection. This is a bit tricky, but if you want to go that route,
I can provide more details.
4. If you frequently send from multiple locations, get a free Gmail account,
configure it for POP access, and use it for your sending chores.
Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked like port 25 is.

I have the same problems my work and home accounts. Both are POP3 accounts.
Work is very loosely organized so there's no network firewall or e-mail
server that could be causing the problem. Basically, I can't send e-mails
from the work account while I'm at home AND I can't send e-mails from the
home account while I'm at work. When I try either situation, I get the same
error as "iccorrea".

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'whack', Account: '*****
*****(Home)', Server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Two weeks ago, I was in a hotel in TX and had no problems sending/receiving
from either account. On that note, "Receiving" always seems to work. It's
only the sending that seems to choke.

We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.
