Is it me or am I impressed

Hi every one I am unsure if you have seen my previous threads about having problems with my work email account not sending messages but receiving so last night It was really getting my blood pressure to boiling and basically this is how I solved the problem.

I added my company email to my Gmail account used my Company email as the default sending email address, Then IMAP enabled the account. I then set up my company email with Thunderbird then set up my gmail with Thunderbird so I can now send from my company email because the email go through googles SMTP servers.

Is it me or is this a nice little way round the same one SMTP server problem?

ip's have their own set of rules. Mine changed a while back and the smtp users name is now : username.ip notice the dot between the name and the domain..

The added benefit to using Gmail like this is that they catch more spam email than any other organisation. IMHO.

All my pop accounts go through Gmail for this reason, and then onto Evolution via IMAP.
