Multiple personalities - 1 ISP
Nate Harel
I need to have 2 personalities (one personal, and one for business). So I
set up the two, and that went fine. However, I have one ISP and I found that
if I enable both personalities to be able to SEND the mail (retrieval is not
a problem), one inevitably fails since they are both going to the same pop
server and fighting each other. I have resorted to manually sending from one
of the personalities but was hoping there was an easier (automatic) way of
doing this.
Thanks

Why would sending be a problem? If anything, I would think trying to
have two personalities use the POP server simultaneously would cause a
conflict. You seem to be a bit confused here; I refer to "the same pop
server".
Anyway, are you getting any error messages?

The POP server has nothing to do with sending mail; this is handled by SMTP server.
You probably have a problem RECEIVING mail if the "address1" and "address2" are actually the same mailbox on the provider's server, one being an alias (or a reference) to the other only.
If this is the case, just disable the mail-fetching functionality from the second personality (Windows - > Personalities, checkmark at the bottom somewhere).
If it's really a problem sending mail, you've probably set up something wrong in the SMTP server field. You need to use your dial-in ISP's SMTP server.

off the receipt of emails without turning off the sending of it. If I check
off the "check email" then it does not send the mail out automatically. I
have to do it manually, which is what my issue was to start with.

Is there an option box for "send whenever sends are done"?

Ctrl-T. Yes, I know, M$ want's you to mouse and click around, but I
think it's more trouble, not less.

Simple solution: Spend the extra $1/month or so for a second mailbox at
your ISP (if even that much -- some ISPs will provide a limited number of
multiple mailboxes per dial-up account gratis). OR, set up an account with
one of the freebie mail services which support standard (i.e., POP3/SMTP)
access methods.

is hardly a problem. Just go to Yahoo (I dont have any interest in this!!!)
and create another account. Then go into Options and enable the POP access.
You will receive instructions on the various settings for POP and SMTP
server. The only trick that comes into play when sending messages from a
mail client is that you should first check for emails. This step
authenticates you as a valid user and then allows you to send as many emails
as you like.
Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please feel free to
email me.
Best Regards!
