Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I have a question about setting up email. I have two computers, a desktop and laptop. The desktop uses the smtp settings from my isp to send mail.I need my laptop to send email from where ever i am which means i cant use my isp's smtp settings as it wont send. I have been using the gmail server to send mail form there but it sends as if i actually sent it from gmail not my pop3 email. Does anyone know of any servers that will be able to handle my emails whilst still remaining to look like they were sent from my pop3 address?

"The desktop uses the smtp settings from my isp to send mail.I need my laptop to send email from where ever i am" Where is the desktop? Where might the notebook be? Are you using 2 different isp's? Is this the problem? The problem is many isp's will not allow email to be send threw there email server if it is not there email address. You may have to call the isp to find this out. This means that the smpt:port 25 is closed. To test if you can send mail threw your notebook. Try the following. Select RUN Type CMD Type telnet name of isp What was the response. Did it say connected? Did it say refused? What was the response? Never say Never Romeo Void Firefox 1.0.7 A Safer Browser Thunderbird 1.0.7
