Yes I know I can send from my Cox cable with another address..as I am doing
that now with my Ukonline account. And I can do that with mail forwarded
from my website and can respond with my domain name.
He does not use any email program..and that is where I was stuck. Since he
is in Phoenix and I am in LV.. I cannot just get him to bring his lap top
over and figure out how to set up an email program for him. I did not
realize the MSN does not use POP3 as their default. For some reason I
Ass-U=Med that OE would be the default.
Thanks for your help..... I figure I might be able to fool MSN by using
their smtp info... even though the addy is from elsewhere..which is what I
do with Ukonline accounts..but. alas..he cannot even find OE on his puter.
I thought that was strange... but... Hey..what do I know.not much I guess...
Thanks for the info Cajun!

Rose, I have an email account set up in my mail program that forwards my
email to my real ISP email address. Is your grandson going to use an email
program to send and receive his mail? I can tell you how I set mine up, but
I don't think you'll be able to set it up this way in web mail at MSN's
site. This is how I set it up in OE, Incredimail, Calypso:
GENERAL TAB:
Mail Account Name and User Name whatever you want, usually associated with
the name on the other account.
Email address would be the address of his domain name email account that is
currently forwarding his email.
Check the "include this account when receiving mail" box.
SERVER TAB:
Set everything up here exactly as you do with your MSN account, using the
MSN Pop3 and SMTP server names, and your username and login with MSN.
All other tabs are the same as MSN.
Basically you would be using MSN to send mail from another account. You
will not have any problems receiving the forwarded mail into the MSN account
just as you receive any other mail, however, you can't SEND mail from MSN
under the name of the other email account as the return address without
setting up the account separately, and I'm sure you won't be able to do that
on MSN's server at the web site. You'll have to use an email program. Even
then, MSN may consider it to be relaying and not allow it. All you can do
is try. I'm on Cox cable and they allow it.
You would have to set one of the accounts as the default account. In order
to send mail from the other account, you would have to select it in the drop
down menu that you get when you click in the "FROM:" field.
