Can I have an Exchange Account and POP3 account?

[Guest]

My workstation at work is setup with Outlook 2000 (WinXP) on a small business
Server with ISA(SBS2K). I have an exchange account for work but I recently
added an additional email account for POP mail. I can receive mail for both
accounts, send out via my exchange account, but my POP account mail gets
returned saying "550 unable to relay". I was told I needed to use my ISP's
SMTP mail server for sending my POP3 mail. I called them and they gave me the
server ISP SMTP address and I changed the SMTP address, but I still get the
same result. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Assuming Outlook 2000 is configured in Corporate/Workgroup mode, you aren't
doing anything wrong. It is Exchange that is winning in the profile and
trying to handle the sending of your POP3 account definition. This is quite
normal because Outlook uses the first account listed at Tools > Services >
Delivery tab.

The only real fix is to separate the two into different mail profiles
because Outlook 2000's ability to target which account to send from isn't
possible when Outlook is configured in Corporate/Workgroup mode. (Outlook
2002 or 2003 is a much better fit when trying to get Exchange and POP3 into
the same mail profile. There are still minor irritants, but they do play
together better.)
