Sir

Kindly let me know whether any software (freeware/trial) is available with Digit for the following mailing purpose.

We have 10 computers inter-connected through a Switch under a workgroup named workgroup. We are using Windows xp in these computers. No Domain is used. The computers are named as PC1...PC2......to PC10

We are using Internet-Broadband connection and sharing the same using winproxy with the remaining 9 computers.

Now, I want an internal email software for sending/receiving mails with attachments among these 10 computers. This should work even without Net connection (Offline). I am sitting in PC1 and I want to send a file to PC10. They must see this as a NEW MAIL with attachment.

I tried the same with Outlook , but not successful.

Please let me know about such a software available

Thankyou
Sincerely

velu

I have had the same problem when using Orange. It will not send from a connection other than its own and I cannot find a way round that one. It seems to be peculiar to them. However I can use my O2 account without any problem provided that I tick the "my server requires authentication" box. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks Leo and all the other people for there inputs. We, or should I say she, can now send her emails no problems. She is wrapped, going from dialup to ADSL2+, where she can now send her photos and video, if need be, in a fraction of the time and I don't have to pay for the call every time she had to dialup.

Thanks, all again,

Tony.

Yes, as mentioned in the article, but ONLY if they're used properly (i.e. NEVER as your primary account). This article has more: http://ask-leo.com/are_free_email_services_worth_it.html

The most simple solution... Gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail. All web-based. If you can get online, you can use them.

Changing the server name: maybe. The problem is that her friend's server may also require authentication - in which case she would have to then include her friends username and password in outgoing SMTP authentication. I have also experienced ISPs that match the FROM address with the ISP's concept of the account and rejected mismatches. (I left that ISP.) You're correct that it can work, if the friend is willing, BUT it's very confusing when it doesn't. The best solution, by far in my opinion, is to use your regular ISP and authenticate with them.

If she sets the Internet Connection Setting to "Dial whenever a network connection is not present" she may not have to change it back when she returns home.

Yet another option is to change the outgoing server name. On the Servers tab, write down the current Outgoing Server (mail.herisp.com) and change it to match her friend's (mail.friends.com). When she returns home she'll have to change the outgoing server name back to (mail.herisp.com).

Need one more? I have registered domains at GoDaddy.com and they allow me to use their secure servers with outgoing mail authentication. This option allows me to travel and not worry about email settings. GoDaddy may or may not (depends on the weekly specials) charge a small fee for this option.
