Outlook with Traveling Wireless Connection

[Kathy]

Hi,

Typically I go online with AT&T's dial-up. When I dial up, then open
Outlook 2003, my emails start rolling in and out from Outlook (I have Outlook
set with my AT&T username and password). Works great.

Sometimes I bring my laptop to my various work sites and go online via
wireless connections (not my AT&T dial-up connection). When I do this I am
able to go to the AT&T website to read/send emails. If I open Outlook (and
not log onto AT&Ts website), I get send/receive error messages.

Is there a way to let my emails send/receive through Outlook during the
times I am not at home with my dial-up connection...when I am on job sites
and use wireless connections to access the internet?

Thanks!
Kathy

Only if ATT and the connection allow it - most will allow pop3 to download
but many won't allow sending. Are you authenticating with the SMTP server?

I do not know what you mean by authenticating with the SMTP server...can you
explain? How do I do this?

Thanks.
