Hi,Think of snail mail for a minute, and pretend you're living away from Mom&Dad in a college dorm. You can get mail at Mom&Dad's, or you can get mail at the dorm, no matter where you are at any moment. However, when you send mail, you send it from where you're at at any given moment; if you're in the dorm, you use the dorm's outgoing mailbox, not Mom&Dad's.
I'm feeling very foolish as I cannot work out what is going on with Mozilla Mail.
I'm moving ISP and have accounts with iiNet and Bigpond. The SMTP is now set for mail.bigpond.com.
I can receive mail on both accounts, I can send mail form my iiNet account, compose in that account, and send with the above SMTP. When I try to send in the Bigpond account the mailer cannot contact the SMTP server, despite it's being the Bigpond server.
I'm in the process of moving my Debian subscriptions and have had to move the replies to my iiNet account to be able to respond to them.
I'm bemused by this and would welcome any suggestions.
TIA,
Tim Wood
You don't specify if you're dialing up or how you're making your connection, but I'm guessing that you're dialing into iiNet, and Bigpond won't let you use their SMTP server if you're not dialed into their net, just like you can't send a letter from Mom&Dad's mail box when you're standing in the dorm 200 miles away.
But I'm just guessing.
