Can I set a 'Reply to:' address?

At work, while I can receive mail from my home mail account, I can't send
mail using that account. This seems to be a deliberate arrangement between
two rival cable providers.

At work, I can send mail using my work mail account, but I would like
replies to my mail to go to my home address. Is there a way in E. to set a
'Reply to:' address which is different from the address you're sending from?

Thanks in advance,

In many cases, you can send e-mail from a different address when you are on
a different network. If the network allows you to use other SMTP servers
(in other words, if it doesn't block port 25), you can see if your home mail
account has an authenticated SMTP server you can use when you're
off-network. If it doesn't allow you to use other SMTP servers/does block
port 25, then you can try using the SMTP server of your work mail account.

Thanks for this bur I don't quite understand what you're suggesting. When
I'm at work, I can receive, but not send, mail using my home account. Are
you saying I may be able to change the SMTP server address in my home email
account to the one for my work mail account, and then send from the home
account at work?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Steve!

I think that's what Mickey is suggesting.

Where I work, any SMTP traffic must be directed through its outgoing
mail server. Port 25 is blocked by most proxy servers, which is why you
can't use your home SMTP server, but your company's local mail server
may relay your messages for you to the outside world.

Hope this helps!

Yes, that's all that was needed. Thanks to you both.
