    Hi! ^o^

    I am running into a problem with my email account settings and was wondering if anybody here could help. I'm gonna try and explain this the best I can without it sounding too confusing.

    Basically, I have 2 email addresses which are from different ISP's. One is with sky and one through freeserve. The freeserve email address is the main one I use, but Sky is my service provider at present. So here's what's happening.

    When I send an email from my Freeserve address, the recipient is receiving the email but the sender is from my sky.com address. When the recipient replies to the email, it is sent directly to my sky email address instead of the address I originally sent the message from. However when people send emails directly to my freeserve account, I recieve this straight to my outlook inbox for freeserve. Here are screens of my settings:

    I don't think there's a problem with the settings, but if anybody thinks otherwise feel free to offer suggestions... lol

    These are the original settings I was given for the incoming and outgoing for Freeserve

    pop3.freeserve.net
    smtp.freeserve.net


    And for Sky:

    pop.tools.sky.com
    smtp.tools.sky.com


    And I obviously have the POP login's for each account. I have tried swapping the incoming and outgoing around between the sky and freeserve, but this just results in nothing working at all... :-S

    If you need anymore info, just let me know! ^o^

    So basically, I want it so that the recipient of my emails sees my Freeserve email address insteadof the sky one. The reason for all this faffing is because we have moved house and changed service provider, however I would like to keep my original email address, for my incoming and outgoing, but need to use sky's server to logon.


    Thanks in advance for any help! ^o^
