in Mac Mail my office server provider was recognized on start up.
When i work of of my home Mac Mail recognized that i had a deferent

for my office but i am unable to send email from my home. How can i
set up for both? thank you.

Entourage does not support multiple outgoing mail servers for one
account. You can, however, create a second Account that is practically
identical to the first and put in a different outgoing mail server for
that. You can then select which account will send the message in the
From field.

Do this:

1) Go to Tools --> Accounts... and create a new account with identical
information as your first account.

2) Change the name of the new account in the top field to something
slightly different so that you can distinguish it from the first account.

3) UNcheck the option just below the account nam to include this account
in your Send/Receive settings. Your first account is already doing this.
No need for the second account to check too.

4) Change the outgoing server address at the bottom to your secondary
address.

5) Save your new settings.

Now, when you need to send from the second address, you should see a
drop down menu next to the From field in a new mail message. Choose
whichever account you want to use.

Hope this helps!

Bill, thank you for the suggestion, but it unfortunately did not work. My concern is when taking my laptop traveling will I be able to send out emails? Don't know if you can help me with that question.
