What Email Client to Use to Send Mail From an IEEE Alias?

If you are signed up for the free g-mail service, I do not believe that you will have access to set up g-mail "Dynamic" POP/SMTP Server.

I don't know about paid subscription benefits.

I guess I was sort of thinking along similar lines.

To the op, I guess you're trying to send the mail out using smtp and using server smtp.gmail.com (or something similar, I don't know if google has more than one).

Or, are you trying to send the email from google's webmail client?

I would think that the possibilities are better using smtp, but google might block "3rd party mail".

(I use pop3 (receiving) / smtp (sending) with kmail on a free basis, I don't know exactly what dynamic means in this case, or whether I'd be prevented from using the pop/smtp server dynamically on a free basis.)

You got me looking in the right place .. thank you very much

settings on gmail--> added second email address as my ieee alias.. then enabled imap.. and configured my email client for the same after verification for other sending from another email address again on gmail..

Sorry, I should have read your email more carefully. I'm assuming you were using windows mail and thunderbird successfully before you tried to set them up to send from your ieee address?

Just in case you weren't, here are the settings I use (in kmail):

• smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
  
• port: 587
• encryption: TLS
• authentication: required, plain text

Because you need authentication, you will have to enter your google id, and either also enter your password in the configuration or each time you send email.

Now that I think about it, I'm much more certain that google and most responsible email servers prevent this kind of use (that is, sending email using their server but with a different source address) to cut out some kinds of spam.

In fact, I think there's even a term for it, which I can't think of at the moment.

So what is (are) the problem(s)?

Presumably, the facebook and twitter links are showing up as just a plain URL as opposed to the typical blue (and or underlined) named link? E.g., you see something like http://twitter.com/blah/blah.blah instead of something like My Twitter Link.

And, how do the logos show up--is there just a string of very random looking characters showing up?

And finally, which email client are you now using? Thunderbird?

(I don't use Thunderbird, so I can't easily help you, but I suspect someone can.)

Changing this back to 'on topic' to get more attention.
