My email accounts have always been set up with this option turned ON.
Why might this not suffice (as you imply it should)?
That's what I mean. That's typically the way you make sure you can send no
matter what network you're on. The domain of the outgoing server should
match the domain of the sending address, as well, but I assume that's
already true.
Also, can you tell me how to identify the ISP I'm connected to when
I'm travelling to various vacation spots? Here in Scottsdale, AZ, I
am connected to a non-secure condominium wi-fi network, but I can
also connect hardwire to a Cox cable modem. I have no problem
receiving emails or getting Internet access on either of these
connections. But is there any generic way, online, to identify a
wi-fi ISP and get its outgoing port numbers and any other required
settings?
I don't know of any generic way.
