Thanks for this BEagle. I'm also using the VMC card, which insists that the SMTP be set to send.vodafone.net. The snag is that my home ISP (the one I use on the wifi connection, via a wireless router) insists on its own SMTP server.
I'll try the tip about setting both accounts up again and then using the "selective send/recieve" option, it sounds a lot easier than constantly going in to the account set up page and changing the SMTP server name!
I think I'll explore the option of setting up my own mail server as well in slower time, although I'm slightly baffled by it all. I'm not at all impressed with my ISPs level of service, their servers seem to go down with monotonous regularity. I have a spare 300Mhz PC hooked up to the network that I just use to drive an external back up hard drive (it's set to run a small backup job every night, backing up the main PC hard drive). I guess I could run this as a mailserver as I'm on broadband. At least then it's be my fault if the server goes down...............
