Setting Up A Laptop Email Client For Multiple Locations by Mark on December 27, 2006
An Into Tomorrow listener submitted the following question!
Q: I take my laptop with me to work and when I try to send e-mail using Microsoft Outlook I have to change my outgoing mail server since my job has a different ISP. When I get home I have to change it back so that I can send mail from there. Is there any way to keep from having to constantly change my outgoing mail server?
A: Yes, Microsoft Outlook has a feature called ‘profiles’ which can take care of this problem. You can read more about it, including instructions at this web page.

The problem is you are using their mac.com account, which requires a username and a password to send and receive e-mail. You need to use their isp’s mail server.
