is possible to have defined 2 or more SMTP servers in 1 e-

Thank you for any help

Alfredo said:I think the issue is adressed in Windows XP, where the SMTP is linked
to the Internet conection, rather than to the mail accounts.
Jeff Stephenson said:To deal with the "different Internet connection needs a different SMTP
server" problem, you can do one of two things:
1) Create multiple accounts, one per SMTP server, that point to the various
SMTP server, but only set up one of them to download mail (in the
Send/Receive settings dialog). Change the default account based on the
connection you're using.
2) Create different profiles, one per SMTP server, with a single account in
each and which point to the same PST (message store). Start Outlook in the
profile that corresponds to your connection.
Note that it is only recently (well after the planning was done for Outlook
2003) that ISPs started blocking port 25 to any servers but their own, so
there was no chance to address this problem in that version. I've raised
the issue to some of the planners, so hopefully they're thinking about it
for the future.

I have the same challenge as the addressors to whom you offered
your response ( I just purchased a new NOTEBOOK computer which I take
with me to WORK and back to HOME, where each location has a different
SMTP SERVER.)
I could and did set up TWO ACCOUNTS, but OUTLOOK 2002 does NOT
offer an option to either DOWNLOAD MAIL or NOT DOWNLOAD MAIL. This is
in contrast to OUTLOOK 2000, which had a PROPERTIES MENU for each
ACCOUNT (versus a "CHANGE" account in OL2002)
NOTE: in OL2000, the PROPERTIES MENU offered a CHECK BOX which
one could opt to:
"Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing"
This CHECK BOX does not exist in OUTLOOK 2002.
BECAUSE I don't have the option to DOWNLOAD or NOT DOWNLOAD MAIL
in OL2002, I am constantly faced with a POP UP requesting my PASSWORD
to the STMP SERVER for my "other" location. My only response can be
to CANCEL the action ... which gets "old" real fast.
I cannot imagine that BILL GATES & company have not yet faced
seeking a solution to the above described dilemma for those of us who
carry a NOTEBOOK COMPUTER to different locations with different SMTP
Servers?
EUDORA offers the CHECK BOX. Alas, Eudora does not do most of
what OL does.
So, is the only alternative to maintain different profiles thru
XP?
Forgive me, but that does not sound like a BILL GATES' solution.
I thank you for your consideration of this challenge.
