Multiple email accounts gives me double the downloads...

BigBlueMan

I use my laptop at work and at home. At work, I'm on one mail server
through my office account, and at home I use my wireless network which is
connected to my cable modem (Charter).

My problem has been that when on the wireless system, I could only receive
emails and not send them (since my default email account is set up for the
other outbound mail server). To try and get around this, I set up a new
email account that uses the same download information, but uses the Charter
outbound server. This DOES allow me to send outbound email when I choose
that email account.

Problem is, now when I download email, it gives me two copies of everything
as it is accessing both servers on the DL side.

All I want to do is be able to send email when on my wireless network,
without getting multiple downloads.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
