Hi

My mate has just bought a domain and it comes with email forwarding. Got him to create a pop3 account at yahoo and get the emails forwarded to this email. I then setup Outlook to access the yahoo account the collect it. Benefit is that you can change the from and reply-to address to be that of his domain and people won't notice. All works fine.

Thing is he wants to be able to access and respond to emails via the we at work but can't because

1. Once Outlook grabs a copy of the email it takes it from the yahoo server and it can't be seen via the web client.

2. Yahoo does not let you change the from email address via the web. Only the reply-to address can be changed.

Anyone got any idea on how to overcome this or any other email accounts he can try.

Cheers

1. You have to set the option to leave a copy of mail on the server. Go into the properties for that account and the option is under advanced I think

2. Dont know

I don't think Yahoo will allow you to modify the from address.
Gmail does, It maybe worth switching?
