| Re: [CA] college access to cox email via outlook said by Fubar  :I think Yahoo has a few you can use Not for the 'yahoo.com' and 'yahoo.ca' domains. SMTP service requires a Yahoo! Mail Plus account, at $19.99 per year. Most of the Yahoo! Mail CC TLDs offer free SMTP access for the price of a subscription to Yahoo! Delivers. For English speakers, two of those are 'yahoo.co.uk', and 'yahoo.com.au'. I have an account at the latter; and one at 'yahoo.co.jp' as well, which requires a modest ability to read Japanese.
AOL Mail ('aim.com', 'aol.com', and 'netscape.net' domains; I believe that they are only accepting new accounts in the 'aol.com' domain at this time), and Gmail have SMTP message submission servers with free access.

Glendale, AZ | Thanks AZwldcat. Also, she can just use webmail.cox.net to check and send from Cox email. That's all I use anymore.

| If her computer is connected to the campus network, then Cox won't allow her to use the Cox SMTP server for outbound email. Use of the cox smtp server is only allowed if you are actually connected to cox's network. This prevents "outsiders" from using Cox SMTP servers for spamming purposes.
Assuming the campus provides an SMTP server students can use for outgoing email, she can change her outlook settings to use the campus SMTP server to send mail. She would leave her return address unchanged as xxxx@cox.net

HSI' and Comcast, among them) offer SMTP AUTH servers which can be accessed from outside of their IP networks. For those who want to use their ISP email services, that is a nice feature.

| You can use Gmails smtp server, but the return address will show the gmail account. Alternately you can pay for smtp redirection with several vendors. If you have a web hosting account, you may have that already included at no additonal cost (Go Daddy as example). There is usually a limit on the number of redirected messages per day. We road warriors have the same issue when traveling. The redirection works for me. | |

Actually, no. I use GMail for my work email and for my personal email addresses. You can ask gmail to send mail as a different email address in the account. Gmail will send an email off to that address, and if you click the verify link, it will allow you to send mail like it's from that email address, but through gmail's server. | |

How it looks in the client |
said by not important :

Not if you set up Gmail properly.
Note that, while your GMail email address shows up in the "Return-Path:" header line, it does not show up in the "From:" line, which is displayed by the client.
