Email Account

[Paul from TX]

I use Outlook 2003, with Word. My personal email account goes through my
ISP's pop3 server. I now work at home and I want to be able to send email
using a second idenity (business account) through the same pop3 server. Do I
use all the same server settings and just change the name of the email
account?

You send through an SMTP server not a POP3 server ;-)
Contact your mail admin for your server details. He/she is the only one who
can provide this to you.

You don't send through the POP3 server but through the SMTP server. Is your
business account with the same ISP?

The ISP is sbcglobal.net. It is SMTP. Do I need to set up the business
account within SBCglobal and then connect to it as a secondary id in Outlook?

Well, you can't just decide that you've got another email address and have
things just work. You need to setup another email account with your ISP.

What you can do is create a second account using all the settings the first
account uses, but have the "Your Name" and "E-mail Address" field match your
work values. As long as you authenticate to the Yahoo server using your SBC
username and password, I don't think the fact the address isn't an SBC
address will matter. I'll test this when I get home if I get the
opportunity.

Thank you Brian. I'll try as well, but you sound like you know a lot more
than I do. Let me know if it works. My only concern is that outgoing emails
appear to be business.
