Vista - Multiple WLM Accounts

Multiple WLM Accounts

I have 2 WLM accounts. One account is primarily for handling incoming mail
and for screening out SPAM through the use of an 'Allow List' maintained at a
server I have a subscription with (vqME). Incoming mail directed to my ISP
address is forwarded this server then rerouted to me after screening.

The other account is my ISP account with Bellsouth. I'd like to use this
account primarily for outgoing mail so I can avoid the outgoing mail volume
limitation imposed by vqME.

My question: How can I configure these 2 accounts to accomplish my
objectives such that I can easily switch my use of these account for
receiving or sending.

Thanks for any help I may receive.

Set up a single email account. For the incoming server properties, use your
vqME POP3 server. For your outgoing server properties, use your Bellsouth
(now AT&T) SMTP server.

Re: Multiple WLM Accounts

Thank you so much for your quick and helpful reply. The only thing I didn't
do at first was to check the 'Leave a copy of messages on server' box. That
was needed to resolve outgoing mail.

Thanks again...!!!

Not sure how that would resolve a send issue. The client doesn't care if the
incoming server and outgoing server are for the same service, or not. It is
useful for POP3 accounts, when you wish to keep the email available for
access from different computers; though an IMAP service would work better
for that kind of operation.
