Sending Telus mail from shaw connection??

[Spidey]

Have recently moved out of the city and don't have high speed INTERNET till the end of the month.

I kept my old Telus business email for awhile until I get everything sorted out, etc.

Anyways, I need to send some emails from my laptop for that. My friend is letting me use his Shaw connection every few days to get some stuff done. Now the emails download fine, but when I send they wont because the SMTP is set to the Telus server.

How would I change it so emails can get sent as well. Just change the SMTP to the shaw one??

Change your SMTP server to "shawmail" or whatever the server name is, or just use http://webmail.telus.net to send from your web-browser from any ISP... (that is when TELUS webmail is actually working.) Otherwise you just get a 550 open relay error.

Not quite that simple. If you change it to use shawmail, you'll also need to have a shaw email account to use, but the easier option is probably going to be http://webmail.telus.net

Thanks for the tip.s I use the webmail portion, but I want it to come from my actual account on my laptop.

I may just say to hell with it, I think my new Internet gets hooked up next week

That's right. You don't need a shaw email account to send email through a shaw server. As long as you have the right SMTP server setting in your email client, you should be fine. The one they recommend "shawmail" doesn't work on my shaw connection, I had to go to this page to find out the correct SMTP server to use:
