I believe with 24 hours on 24 days a week, you could do a lot more

There are servers you can install on your PC. Of course, they will be
only active when you are currently connected, but I tried one once,
and it sent the messages directly to the recipient's POP server.
I uninstalled it again, because I found it awkward, and in addition, I
have only PC's, no laptop, so I can use my ISP's SMTP at home, and my
company's SMTP in the office (which has a 24/7 ISDN connection to the
internet, which I can use via the LAN).
But for you, it might be a solution.
Another idea would be to connect via attglobal.net (formerly ibm.net)
or Compuserve, they have dial-in numbers in many places, and you can
use either their SMTP server or connect through them to your respective
SMTP servers. I haven't used either of them for a while, so I don't
don't whether it still works.
It does not work with AOL, though.

See above. Try an ISP that has dial-up numbers everywhere you go.
Another solution (my boss does this) is to dial long-distance to your
home ISP every time. :-(

Feature request: Set SMTP server for all accounts to:....
Preferrably with a "location" list, wheere you just choose the lace
where you are, and the SMTP server details are stored.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
