Outgoing Mail Blues Revisited (14)
Posted August 19th, 2006 in On The Road
A year ago I did a tutorial on how to resolve the pesky outgoing mail issues that come up when traveling with a laptop. The problem comes from the fact that many ISPs do not allow you to send email unless you use their SMTP server. This is fine if your computer does not leave home, but it is irritating if you go back and forth from home, or work, or a coffee shop or a hotel.
In this tutorial we’ll set up a GMail account and use it’s servers to send emails from Mail regardless of where you are connecting from. It should be easy to apply the same settings to Entourage but I am not covering that on this tutorial. Although I am using Tiger in this example, it is not required for it to work.
