Here is what you do. Open your email properties and set your smtp server to the same one that your neighbor has. Leave your pop server the same and you'll be golden. I had the same problem at work. But that will do it. Unless of course your neighbors isp's smtp server requires authentication. So basically every thing stays the same exept the smtp server setting. Hope this helps sean

If the account is in your neighbor's name, you can get him to add a user (I have cable here in Florida and we get up to 6 users, I think.) I don't even use the username that was given to me as it is too hard to remember, so I created one that I can remember and I retrieve my mail from that one.
