Multiple SMTP Configurations : how to ?

[brunow]

Using Apple's mail, when you send a message, you always have the opportunity to choose the smtp server from which the mail is sent. In Entourage 2008, when I move from office to home (where the ISP are different), I have to manually edit acount configuration to change the smtp server, and I didn't find a way to "save" the different smtp's I use. Is there a turn around ?

Assuming that in your office environment access to a foreign SMTP port
is not blocked you could sign up to some free e-mail service that offers
SMTP access with authorization and configure that for all your e-mail
accounts.

GMX.NET is offering this but based in Germany so you may want to look
into other options.

Consider using the SMTP Location X AppleScript.

In E 2004 you can set up a second account identical to the first except for
the SMTP server and choose to send from that account when you're at home.
You can change the sending account on each message by choosing it in the
"From" drop-down box.

I haven't upgraded yet, so I don't know if this also works in E 2008.
