OK, got it to work. Used one of the kids' accounts and his PW.
Thanks much.
I glad you got something working but you shouldn't have to use Verizon's
email servers at all. My daughter comes here periodically and uses her
laptop to connect to her email server (pop.att.yahoo.com and
smtp.att.yahoo.com) and has no problem downloading and sending email
from the yahoo server. You ought to be able to set up SM to access your
hughesnet servers the same way so you don't have to fuss with your
host's servers at all.
Agree completely. Can't imagine why they're insisting that I use their
resources when I want to use someone else's.
One thing that messed me up when I first started setting up my POP and
SMTP servers was that I when tried to send an email, I was using the
wrong "From:" in the email message. On the far right side of the
"From:", click on the down arrow and make sure you are using correct one
for the email server you have selected.
I've been using several accounts on different servers for years, and I
have separate sigs and everything all set up and I'm familiar with how
to do it. One thing that surprised me about AT&T's new setup was that
they also insisted I use their SMTP server when I dialed in from a
remote location, but refused to let me send from a non-AT&T account. So
when I leave the house, they say I can only use my AT&T account, which
is less than 1% of my usage. Completely defeats the purpose of having an
account with them, so I'm gonna drop them. I even had some bozo from
"advanced support" waste a half-hour of my time jumping through hoops to
make it possible to ... be unable to use other accounts.
