Yep, that's the situation I keep running into, and not just for EarthLink,
while I'm out of town and being a guest on someone else's rig for broadband
'Net & mail access (even though I have my own Profiles there, with my own
account info). Was under the impression that your method circumvented this,
but apparently it doesn't. If you find another way, please let us know
about it. (But I'm not about to keep a dedicated mail server box running 24
/ 7 at home or anywhere else, just to have this.) Right now, I find no
other alternative besides dropping down to a dial-up connection for each
account, in order to send out mail or replies. That mostly works, but even
a few of those outbound messages have bounced, for reasons not really clear
to me.
