Is it possible to make the outlook client receive mail from
the pop client before it sends mail. As soon as I compose a mail it
trys to send it and gets a relay rejection from my pop provider. This
is because a valid login hasn't occured before the mail is sent.
thanks
Outlook lets you reverse the order of polling mail servers. It defaults to outbound (SMTP) followed by inbound (POP3). That's because the SMTP server will let you reuse the POP3 authentication if you connect to it from the same IP address within, say, 10 minutes. I don't see a similar option in Outlook Express (just in case that's the e-mail client you were really asking about).
For Outlook, go to your e-mail account's settings, click More Settings, under the Outgoing tab panel, and enable the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication". Your choices then are to enable the "Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail" which should reuse the POP3 authentication values plus also reverse the order the mail servers are polled. Or just enable the "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" which will first poll the SMTP server (to send) and then the POP3 server (to receive) which I prefer (then you don't have perform 2 mail polls if you send yourself a test e-mail).
For Outlook Express, go to your e-mail account's settings, under the Servers tab panel, and enable the option "My server requires authentication", click Settings, and specify to reuse the same username and password as for the POP3 connection or reenter your username and password in this dialog. That will authenticate you to their SMTP server.
