Hi all, I have been traveling extensively recently and I eventually tired of changing accounts/profiles/settings in Outlook. After having an eLink account for 3+ years, I switched to AT&T Worldnet which allows me to use different smtp servers by just requesting smtp pass through permission for my AT&T account. I think this is excellent that AT&T has found a common medium to this issue, and I have been very happy with the service I have received from them. Now, I am no big fan of AT&T, but I do recognize good service when I see it.
