Hello Joe.

You are confused.

You are mixing up   "smtp server"  "outgoing server id" etc.

Further, don`t fake youe stuff.  It`s pointles, it's confusing and there is
absolutely NO security benefit.

smtp server address:		#probably  rogers.com
smtp port:			#probably  25
pop server address (host):	#probably  rogers.com
login name/address:		#probably  xxxx (usually xxxx@rogers.com)
password:			#well, you know this
pop port:			#probably  110


Let us know how ot works out !

People, please don`t obscure information.  Also don`t type info in when you
can pull it complete from files and logs.

Marvin
