I am running WM03 SE on a Dell Axim x30 with built in Wi-Fi. Can I use an outgoing mail server DIFFERENT than my incoming mail server? My incoming (work) server won't let me send mail without being directly on my network.

I have another POP account that will however; I want to send my mail out on it.

My Pocket Outlook allows you to choose to authenticate outgoing messages but won't let you enter a different user name than the incoming like Outlook 2002 does.

Any ideas?

Since nobody can answer my question I will go ahead and tell you what I have found out. Pocket Outlook WON'T let you use different incoming and outgoing servers. If you are attempting to do that you will have to get a third party Pocket mail program. I chose WebIS Mail. It seems to work very well in place of Pocket Outlook.

It is available as a free trial version at Handango.com

Thanks everyone.......

Actually, that's not 100% accurate. Native Pocket Inbox DOES allow receiving/sending from different POP/SMTP servers. The implementation arguably is not very elegant.

Simply author a new or reply in a specific account. When you want to send, simply select the SMTP service you want to use with the "accounts" menu bar. The message will be placed in the selected account's outbox.

Switching to that account, hit the send icon and presto, the messsge is sent using the selected account.

Oh yeah, NPOPW (freeware) also supports the more conventional separate POP/SMTP authentication capability.

MY daughter does this on her X30H all the time.

Her e-mail server at college will only allow you to use their outgoing server when wirelessly connected to their network.

At home, she ties into my home network and can receive mail from her school account through POP3 but she cannot send mail from that account. I solved this by configuring the POP3 account on the axim to use my outgoing server from my e-mail. It allowed me to change the name so that her name shows up as the sender.

I do not have access to her PDA at the moment so I cannot retrace the steps specifically at this time. But, it does work and she is using poutlook with no add-ins.

In most cases you must use the SMTP (outgoing) mailserver of the network you are connected to. If you have an email account with someone who allows net access (like Gmail), then you can direct the email to use that SMTP server.

It can be a pain sometimes because almost everyone can recieve their POP email from any network connection but most of the time you must have an account with the network you're connected to to send an email.

See if you can get a Gmail account as you can receive & send email wirelessly through them with any net connection.
