I initially posted about this a few months ago. I still haven't figured out how to solve my problem, which is:

I want to be able to do two things with each of my 5 email addresses.

1) Make it look like the email is coming from me at home ([email protected]) or
me at "work" -- I have four POP accounts, each
associated with a different client.

AND

2) Use a custom signature, like this one (below), for each.

Using my ISP's new webmail powered by google, I can do #1 but not #2 (at least not without
typing the whole signature each time)

Using Entourage, I can do #2 but not #1 -- unless I'm missing something.

I was able to do both, with Entourage, by selecting one of the 5 from the
pull-down "From:" menu before my "home" email switched over to tds/google.
TDS (my ISP) can¹t help me.
Google can¹t help me.
Can Microsoft help me?

So is your new SMTP server preventing you from spoofing your address?
What kind of error do you get?

I don't get an error message.
I just know that when I send a message "from" one of my "work" signatures in Entourage, the recipient sees it as coming from my "home" address. And when that recipient replies, the message comes into my main In Box (because the reply is going to my "home" address and not the "work" address).
Am I making any sense?

So the SMTP server you are using is forcing an email address on you.
Talk to them to see if you can be exempted from this policy. Otherwise
you'll need to find, or pay for, another email provider whose SMTP
server you can use.
