I thought I had solved the probem, but was wrong.

In the past I have always been able to send/receive emails from say the UK using an account in another country. I am in Andorra now and cannot do it anymore. It appears that the server here will let me receive messages from a distant server, but will not send using the address of that server unless the destination is the local server.

I have tried to get round this by inserting the distant email address in the general tab of the properties of a local address. The email goes normally but does not reach the destination!

Any ideas how I can get round this?

Thanks

You can only send email from a provider's address if you're connected to them.

You need to change your outgoing mail server to that of the provider you're with now. The email address you're using and it's provider becomes irrelevant, the key point is you must use the outgoing mail server of the provider you are connected with at the time to send email.

Hi Neil

I appreciate that. Let me give you the example. I set up an account in OE for a Portuguese address something@netcabo.pt and in Properties/Servers used pop.netcabo.pt for incoming and correu.andorra.ad for outgoing. Now, this should work, but it does only on incoming; not on outgoing.

What I have done instead and seems to be an alternative (not fully tested yet) is to set up a local account, but in the Properties/General tab use a foreign address in the reply to box, but it does not seem to work if I also put that foreign address in the box above that normally takes the email address (it does not specify if it has to be an address at the local server).

netcabo.pt

Incoming/Receiving - POP Server: pop.netcabo.pt (port 995) (with SSL)
Outgoing/Sending - SMTP Server: smtpa.netcabo.pt (port 25) and enable "My server requires authentication"
