Outlook 2007 Cannot send from remote locations

[Guest]

I have Verizon at home and send/receive works fine. But away from home, say
at a hotel, I cannot send through Verizon, as they are not my provider when I
am remote. I have a business website and my website host handles my incoming
just fine, either home or away. What solutions would you recommend? One is
to have Outlook dial up Verizon to send/receive when I am away. Another is
to enable the send feature through my website provider. I am interested in
any other thoughts you or others may have on the best work-around for this.
Not being able to send mail on the road is driving me nuts! Many thanks.

You will need to set authentication or use the Hotel's service to send. See your ISP's web site for their FAQs - this should be among them, or contact them for how to deal with travelling.

Yes, that is correct, and I forgot to include that option as one that I was
considering. Here is why I didn't include it in my choices. Often I check
into hotels late at night. Every hotel has a different provider. I cannot
get someone on the phone for help. It seems a bit laborious to use the
hotel's service and reconfigure the outbound protocol each time, and the
information is not often available without human assistance. Your suggestion
is a good one for an experienced person, but I would have a problem with it.
Thank you for replying. Anyone have any other suggestions?
