Setting Up Outlook With 2 Different Carriers

[Digging4Truth]

I have a problem.

I used to live in an area where we had bellsouth.net as our ISP and we had bellsouth.net email addresses. My families addresses were actually set up under my father in laws business account before we moved there so, when we moved, we still have our Bellsouth.net address. These are, by far, our primary addresses.

We have kept them now for over a year and intend on keeping them indefinitely but we cannot send emails from Outlook.

We have to send email over the bellsouth.net webmail application.

I have put bellsouth as my outgoing server.
I have put my current ISP as my outgoing server.

Nothing seems to work.

I receive emails just fine... but then when I hit reply and then send nothing ever happens.

Can anyone help?

Actually I have made some progress now.

Instead of the old mail.bellsouth.net smtp server I was supposed to be using smtp.att.yahoo.com.

It now attempts the send and asks for my password. I am entering the correct password but it returns with a failed password message

Dunno... crazy stuff.

Check to make sure your POP/SMTP servers don't require SSL encryption. You might need to change the ports (Advanced Settings).

Alright... I will do some checking.

Thanks

I really don't like Outlook at all.

I don't have DSL, and Outlook Express works best for me. You are able to do so much without being logged on. :thumbsup

Yes, but you can log in, download your mail, log out, respond to all of them and it will send them when you log back in. If you are on a phone line (I didn't know that was even available still) that keeps it open while you are responding to emails.

Yess....i'm aware of that, because I use Outlook Express..I have a seperate phone line for my internet, and stay connected all the time. But you can compose, go back and re-read and not be connected if you only have one phone line.
I still prefer Outlook for my email.

Outlook Express is also my favorite email server. To me, it's just more simple and easy to manage. :)

It's also more open to exploits and viruses than web mail
