Re: Wi-fi and SMTP

Alan,
I have the same problem when I use my laptop on the road. My home internet
provider is Cablevision, and I use Outlook Express to send and receive
e-mail. When I am away from home I can receive e-mail but not send it. The
way I got around this is to setup a free Google e-mail account which allows
you to send and receive e-mail using a POP3 e-mail client. I than configured
Outlook Express with two e-mail accounts, "optonline", and "gmail". When I
am home I set the "optonline" account as the default, when on the road I
sent the "gmail" account as the default.

The gmail web site has instructions to setup the gmail account in Outlook
Express and other e-mail clients.

Apologies if I'm repeating old questions, or if I should have looked
for an FAQ etc. Am rather pushed for time unfortunately.

I have an Apple Mac Powerbook with a wireless card. All works fine at
home. When I travel, I often use wi-fi hotspots, but I'm not able to
send emails although I can receive them fine.

I'm assuming that it's because my computer doesn't know the details of
the relevant SMTP server - is that correct? In a given situation, how
can I find these details? I'm about to visit a friend who, like me,
has a wireless network at home so I'd like to be able to send emails in
the usual way rather than messing around with webmail etc.

Thanks.
