Why? You're using SMTP with Earthlink either way. Why do you need to log
on to Earthlink if you're dialed into their network? You're just
sending.

Because some ISP's now require that you login to the SMTP server and that being dialed into their network is not enough. MSN is one that requires it. MSN is now what, number 3 is users? Outlook is about the only email client that will allow this ability.

Why do you need to send with TWO if the From is the same in both?

No, I use Outlook and it simply replies using the account settings for
the account the email was received at. I can have the same SMTP on all
the accounts and different POP on all the accounts and I don't have to
change anything to reply. The only way I would need to change anything
is if I'm forwarding email to one account and want to reply using a
different "personality" as you call it.

Again, why do you have to log in to send?

It doesn't make sense to me.
