How to setup Outlook looking at one POP3 account but using two IPs

C

Coppernob

I am a relative lightweight when it comes to networking...

Here is the problem. In our small office network the pop3
email server is 10.0.0.10.
In the big bad world outside it has a static IP address
195.XX etc.


I have a laptop that i am configuring to pick up email
when connected to the internal network and when it
connects externally via the internet. So right now I have
two email accounts with the same parameters but one
pointing to the internal IP and one to the external IP


For a number of reasons (my boss works with a desktop as
well)i have set both the desktop and the laptop to "leave
messages on the server" for 90 days.

I do not mind duplication of email (infact that is great)
between the desktop and the laptop. HOWEVER i cannot
figure out how i can avoid duplication of emails when the
laptop connects to the server internally and then later
externally

Is there a way of avoiding this? a rule perhaps? Or is
there a way of telling it, when connected internally,
that the 195.XX is the email server?
