Default WiFi ISP - SMTP server problems

If you are using WiFi, they don't usually have an SMTP mail server of
their own. So they should allow you to use home ISP's SMTP mail server.

The issue will be if you home ISP will allow external access to their
SMTP mail server. See if they support SMTP Authentication. In OE this
is specified in Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers, Outgoing
Mail Server, My Server Requires Authentication.

In some cases you can use Port 587 or 465 rather than port 25 (specify
in OE at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced). Your ISP is more
likely to allow this port. The SMTP mail server has to support this
port.

address of
any other ISP that I may be using whilst out and about - is there a
way
around ths.
