Multiple email accounts

[Rick Morrison]

I'm not sure of the best place to ask this question so here goes: I have
Comcast internet at one location and CenturyTel DSL at another. I have a
Comcast email address and a Earthlink.net email address. I have Outlook set
up to scan both accounts at both locations. I also have a laptop set up to
scan both accounts when travelling.

When at the Comcast location I reply to a message addressed to the Earthlink
address I must change the sending account to the Comcast address. Likewise
when at the location with CenturyTel DSL.

When travelling and in a hotel I must go to the Comcast and/or Earthlink Web
mail sites to send email. I can download both accounts into Outlook but I
can't reply to anything.

Is there a way to configure Outlook or my email accounts to allow me to use
Outlook to send and receive email from any location, including a hotel with
my laptop?

Thanks,
Rick

In general, mail service providers require one of two things: that you be on
their network when sending mail with their servers or that you authenticate to
the outgoing server, use specific server ports, and enable encryption for the
connection. Your mail service providers should supply information on how to
configure Outlook's account so you can reach their servers when not on their
networks. Here is Comcast's instructions:
