Sending from OE using wireless
 

This is likely a basic inquiry that's been covered at some point,
though I don't see this specific thread. I've been dealing with this
for a while.

When using a wireless connection at the various locations that I work
from using my laptop, I'm unable to send mail directly using OE (I've
been jumping to webmail to send, but it's not effective as I work
primarily using OE). I'm new to laptop/wireless realm-- I've not had
trouble sending from my home wireless network set up, but I'm using my
ISP's SMTP address in my OE accounts to do so.

I've a friend on a Mac who is able to use an airport drop down menu
that allows for choosing the current location's wireless connection
anywhere she is-- I assume this changes the SMTP server address to
allow for sending mail (or is the SMTP protocol bypassed with
wireless?). Is there an equivalent to "airport" for a PC user?

Short of manually changing the SMTP protocol in my various ONE accounts
info, I've not been able to figure out how to be able to send mail
directly from each location I'm at-- plus I've not had success in
finding SMTP server info for the various wireless connections - I can
get the IP address and other address info, but can't see what to change
the SMTP location to.

I'd certainly appreciate any help with this dilemma.

Try OEToolsaccountsmailselect accountpropertiesconnection tab'always
connect using'un-checkapply/ok, it should now use any available
connection.

The "always connect using" is already unchecked on all my email
accounts. Sigh.

It could be that the various locations you work from are blocking outbound
port 25. You may be in luck. Your posting IP address says, "AT&T Yahoo!
HSI", which is the new name, as of Jan. 1, 2006, for "SBC Yahoo! DSL
Service". If so, change your SMTP server to 'smtpauth.sbcglobal.net', and
change the port number, on the Advanced tab of Account Properties, to port
587. No other changes necessary, and that port should work anywhere with
Internet access.

Your ISP is not going to let you relay from another connection. See if
Norman's response helps. You need an SMTP server that will allow you to
send from various connections.

I use an Macintosh Powerbook and Airport. It's called Location. It only
manages to change the adapter setup and protocol in OS X. Before that, in
Mac OS 9, Locations Manager could also changed the ISP settings and the
server addresses - and could manage a lot more settings: the printer, File
Sharing state, Quicktime speed, Remote Access, sound level and Time Zone.

I think a Windows utility called Mobile Net Switcher 3.4 may be of help to
you. It's Shareware

Otherwise, doing what you are trying to do is very tedious in Windows.

directly from each location I'm at-- plus I've not had success in

The smtp-server i often named something like "mail.isp-domain" and
"smtp.isp-domain"

I'd certainly appreciate any help with this dilemma.

Good luck with it.
