Headquarters IT department does not run exchange server. Instead they have an ISP (ISP#1)and use ISP mailboxes with a company alias. Supervisor Bill is now transferred to another state. At his new home, he gets an ISP (ISP#2). Now headquarters transfers his mail from ISP#1 mailbox to ISP#2 mailbox. When he is at home, it works fine.

Now Supervisor Bill comes to work at new office and wants me to bring in his mail on his laptop. At the office, we use a different ISP (ISP#3). At the office, he can receive mail from ISP#2, but can't send out and reply. Why, because at the office we have to use the SMTP of ISP#3. If I tell headquarters to route mail from ISP#1 to ISP#3, then when he is at home, he will be able receive mail, but not send out/or reply to mail.

How, using Outlook 2002, can I bring in all mail and be able to send out and reply to all mail? He wants to be able to receive, reply and send out mail from Outlook whether he is at home or at the office.

Someone, anyone, please help! :)

Thanks,

Tony
 
Yes, but he may need to designate the sending account on individual messages
in order to get them to go out via the right SMTP server.

I am not sure I follow what you are trying to say. How would he designate the sending address to direct the email through the correct SMTP? I know how to show the from address and change that, but does that direct it to different SMPTs

Thanks

Changing the From address does not change the account used to send the
message. He would need to use the Accounts drop-down to set the outgoing
account to one with the correct SMTP server.
