OE 6 multiple accounts
 

I have three different email accounts that I use with OE6. I can receive
email from all three accounts on broadband wireless by selecting "any
available ". But, I cannot send from two of the accounts which were
originally dial up and different servers. I have reset these acconts to "any
available also" as well as "never dial" Any suggestions on how to send from
any of the three accounts would be appreciated. I do know to change the From
selection on the email.

If your current ISP blocks outbound port 25, which sounds like the case,
you either access your other servers on an alternate port, if the servers
allow it, or you just have to use your current ISP SMTP server, if you
can't access the other servers on alternate ports.

You can ask your other mail service providers, or you can just try setting
up for the ports. Common are port 587 (if so, they may use STARTTLS, and
MSOE won't try STARTTLS on ports other than 25), and port 465. If you
configure port 465, you should also configure it for SSL. No guarantees.
Unless you ask them outright, and get an answer in the affirmative.

OE 6 multiple accounts
 

You are generally restricted to using the SMTP mail server of the ISP
that you are connected via in order to limit spam. There may be some
workarounds depending on the exact restrictions imposed by your ISP and
the other services.

What error message do you get when you try to send from the two
accounts?

Many ISPs require that you be directly connected to their service (not
via another ISP, corporate LAN, etc.) in order to send via their SMTP
mail server. (They match your IP address against those owned by the
service.) An exception is made for messages being sent to recipients of
their service. The typical error message will be "Cannot Relay" or "Not
Local" or "Not Gateway", "Not Allowed Rcpthost" or something similar. A
workaround for this is to use the SMTP mail server of the service that
you connect via, but leave your other settings the same. And for some
mail services, the SMTP Authentication may be needed. In OE this is
specified in Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers, Outgoing Mail
Server, My Server Requires Authentication.

Some ISPs block access to other SMTP mail servers while connected via
them. (They block TCP/IP port 25 except to their own SMTP mail server.)
Some of these ISPs will make exceptions if you present a compelling
reason to do this. The error messages may indicate network is
unreachable, access denied, or timeout errors (socket errors 10051,
10061 and 10060.) Another workaround for this is to use the SMTP mail
server of the service that you connect via, but leave your other
settings the same. 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. SMTP Authentication will likely be
required. In OE this is specified in Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Servers, Outgoing Mail Server, My Server Requires Authentication.
