If we're talking about two different machine then no problem, but I assume you mean you have a single laptop. There's no way to *directly* select an SMTP server other than changing your identity, but in principle you could do it by configuring Evo to use sendmail rather than SMTP, and getting sendmail to understand your location. That's really outside the scope of this list. Personally, I just use smtp.gmail.com from everywhere, but of course Gmail keeps a copy of every message you send (that can be viewed either as an advantage or a disadvantage), and may violate company policy or clash with corporate outgoing filters. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
