in the basic account setup (setup: accounts): identity = what I want the receiver to see and use as reply-to address on outgoing mail (e.g. mancostudios) receiving = the email account I am checking (e.g. eudoramail) sending = the isp I use to send messages (e.g. my hustbands server)
if I for example want to send out via my eudoramail account, I first have to check that account - some authentication which needs to be established before eudoramail allows me to send. yahoo used to be the same when I had used it as POP3 account. there are some ISPs which do not allow to send out via another server. Comcast and also Earthlink are like this, as far as I know. I have a client who uses Earthlink and his 'sending' is set to his Earthlink account / data, but 'identity' and 'receiving' are via his own domain name. hope this makes sense. ---marlyse --------------- former message(s) quotes: ---------------- > I'm not sure I understand...
