I see you have answers as to how to accomplish this; I offer this in addition in case it might be of some help. My e-mail provider uses smtp after pop. This is because they offer e-mail service while you are connected to any connection. However, I also use their dial-up service so I asked if they had a different smtp server for that; which they did. I set up power mail to use that other server which seems to work even when I am connected wirelessly. So you could ask if your service has something like that. Forte Agent for Windows, for mail and news, had an option to check for "pop before smtp" which took care of this problem. It signed in to the pop account without downloading mail before signing in to the smtp server. With PowerMail, also, I pretty much only send after getting mail so that helps. That is, I write my messages, they are in the outbox, and then I "connect again" which downloads new mail and sends my mail right away afterwards. -- Barbara Needham
