Hi.
I wasn't too sure whether to put this in the office applications forum or the email forum but then I noticed that Dreamboat was moderator and I'm sure she'll come up with the goods!!
I have been using Outlook to read my email with the account set up to work through the LAN. When I get home in the evenings I dial into the network and collect my email automatically by opening outlook. The computer seems to automatically recognise that the ethernet is not connected and collect the mail from the dialup connection that is already established.
However dialling into my work network is quite expensive and I recently joined an ISP that I can access cheaply from home. The only problem is that when connected to this ISP, Outlook can collect mail from my popin inbox but can't send to my smtp popout server. Sending only works when I change the popout setting to the ISP's popout server.
My question is how can I set up outlook mail settings to automatically send mail via one smtp server when connected to the ethernet and send via another when connected by the dialup??? I have tried creating 2 seperate mail accounts dialup and LAN but I have to switch between them, I would like it to sense this automatically like it used to and I notice that there is a "set order" button on the tools>>accounts window but this button is always greyed out.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Steven
