[bcab] Re: Wireless connection and OE

Hi Tim

You can have multiple accounts in OE quite happily (I do myself). If you join a 
network that is not yours then your account must be set to that for outgoing 
mail - incoming under POP3 is much easier to set up.

Two things to check, your settings and if you are using them when you send.  
Main menu > Tools > Accounts > Mail tab >  choose your account > Properties 
button > Servers tab > My server requires authentication checkbox and then the 
Settings button to add username and password and check to add each time.

Next, ensure you are sending using this account by checking the From box at the 
top of the screen - OE automatically sets this to the default account and you 
will get an error if your default account is not the one you have just set up!

  Hi Tony and Nick and thanks for responses so far.  I've tried entering new 
smtp adress in a servers tab in accounts in OE Tony but I guess I haven't done 
it right because I still can't send outgoing mail and when I hit control m I 
get a message saying connecting to pop.freeserve.com
  I also now get a dialogue asking for my friend's BT user name and password 
and although I've got these right this window just keeps cycling round.  I can 
hit cancel or escape and get out of it but the original problem remains.  Why 
do I need to enter his smtp address in OE's settings though?  I can access his 
connection just with his wep pass key.
  I'm starting to suspect that this issue is unresolvable while I still have a 
dial up account only and that I'll never be able to send using any kind of 
broadband connnection while this is still the case.  I'm interpreting what Nick 
said to meaning maybe that although I can reach Orange's server and collect 
mail, I'm not actually connected as far as Orange is concerned because I have a 
dialup account in OE.  OE shows a socket error when outgoing mail has failed to 
go.
  Any thoughts welcome.
  Regards
  Tim Gebbels
