If you take a laptop out on the road, you have to change one setting. You have to change the SMTP (the outgoing mail server) to the SMTP server for the ISP you are currently connecting through. So if at home you use Earthlink then mail.earthlink.net (or something) is you outgiong mail server. But when you are visiting a friend who uses Time Warner, you have to change your SMTP server setting to TW's server. The incoming mail server stays the same.
