Outlook Express using more than one ISP

[spaceman_333]

Hi,

I am using @home as my email default. I also have a dialup ISP. I want to be able to send and receive email from both ISP's while cable connected. Naturally, I'm always online with my cable connection and I can send using my @home account and RECEIVE email from both. I cannot send using my dialup ISP email account unless I dial it up and use a phone connection...then everything works except my @home email.

I would like to stay connected to my cable and be able to send and receive from both without having to dialup. Is there a way to do this??

Thank you for helping.

Check with your dial up ISP for the settings for outlook. They should be able to give them to you.

Hi rkselby98,

I have the settings and have them entered in OE/Tools/Accounts/Mail.....they all work, just not together.

I have 3 ISP in outlook and they all receive but when I send I have to select the ISP I want to send with.

Some ISP's won't let you send through them if your using another ISP's mail. This could be where your problems is.

This could be because the Administrator of the dialup ISP is a friend of mine and he is scratching his head, too !!

I select from the drop down menu and choose which one but...no go.

It is very possible. The only way I found to get around it was to change the outgoing mail to their ISP and send it all through them but then I also had to set the reply email to them also.

I ended up just reveiving or checking the mail of the other ISP's but it also saves me from going from site to site to check them.
