What sort of error message are you getting? You should be able to receive
mail without any problems, if you have the correct username and password,
regardless of location, but your SMTP server (that sends the mail) will only
work for the account to which you are connected, so at work you have to use
the SMTP server for each account to the work account and at home, use the
SMTP server for the home account.

Thanks Norman. I sent an email to Bellsouth but it was never
answered. The question, I thought, was more generic, but
obviously some here feel it is specific to Bellsouth. Thanks for
your help!!!

I have two DSL accounts at different locations in same ISP
area (Bellsouth) Home and Office. They are within 12 miles

I thought I would be able to download email of the other account
at each location (leaving a copy on the server).

In other words, from home, I want to not only get my home email
on OE but also my office email leaving a copy of it on the server.

And at the office, I thought I would be able to get my office email
on OE and also my home email leaving a copy of it on the server.

But it doesn't work. The account and password of only the location
that I'm at works. I am unable to download the email from the home
account to the office computer.

Is there some secret or it can't be done????

It should be possible. Unfortunately, I am not a Bellsouth user. I
wouldn't expect too many MS-MVPs to know a lot about how Bellsouth does
things, and a very small percentage of posters to this group are likely
to know anything about how Bellsouth works. Try asking your question
