Sorry guys and I know I'm new and this is a common problem but I have checked the previous questions and I still cannot resolve this one.
I use Outlook 2007 on XP and ukonline is my ISP
I have two ukonline email accounts (probably not relevent for this question)
Both work fine from my location but I often need to send and receive email from "off site"
I am having a REAL problem with BT (hence the name!)
I can receive ukonline mails no problem using a collegues BT broadband but I can't send
This has always been a problem but I got around it before by using my POP3 server (ukonline) and the BT outgoing smtp server (mail.btinternet.com) with a third account.
Using this account I could send mails with my collegues user name and password but my ukonline return address.
Somehow these setting have changed and I can no longer send mails from my collegues location using the BT connection (maybe when I changed to 2007 from 2003) although I still connect no problem and recieve no problem
I have tried to reset the third account settings to no avail and and in fact when testing the settings it refuses to connect to the incoming server, yet testing the other two accounts is fine at that point but they will not conect to the outgoing server and I receive a Yahoo message saying could not deliver message to my (correct) email address.
The settings for all three incoming accounts are identical and it always tries to recieve before sending so why the third account fails I do not know. Is that a clue?
What am I doing wrong?
Gentleman from BT India (maybe they should rename it IT!) insists it's a ukonline problem but then why do the other two accounts work fine? He also tells me he has had 6 months training and knows everything and my settings are correct. Oh and BTW I'm an idiot obviously!
Many thanks
yours
