Secondary Fail-over IP address in Outlook

[Danish Mustafa]

Dear All,

Is there any way that I can configure two IP address in Outlook for Incoming
& Outgoing server settings?
What I want is that Outlook first try to access SMTP/IMAP on A.B.C.D and if
after a certain (5 to 10 seconds) if it doesn't get response it tries for the
other address like X.Y.Z.Z automatically.
I have been searching around but couldnt find any solution to this
particular scenario. If anybody can help me out, would be very much grateful.

Thanks a lot,
Danish Mustafa

No.

Can it be done? Sure. There is no market for it as people who need this
are best served with something like Exchange.

Perhaps a hosted Exchange account is a solution for you. Microsoft
offers a free trial.
