With Insight, you could access the SMTP server from anywhere to send mail, as long as you authenticated with your Insight user/pass. I can’t find anything like that for TWC, but it could be buried in their marvelously clear docs. My solution is just to not use TWC mail for anything. (Of course, their having just POP and no IMAP made that a really easy decision.) I use Google as my SMTP server when I’m traveling. There's a setting on the Gmail page that will let you use external return addresses with Google.

I set TWC to forward everything to a real account that has IMAP. That way, if some benighted soul happens to send me something at my TWC address, I don’t have to handle it there. Besides, POP is sooooo 20th century!
