SMTP solutions for travelers and telecommuters :

When I was traveling I was always running into difficulties with sending e-mail using outlook ; I would have to change the outgoing SMTP server every time I changed my Internet connection.  This makes for a real hassle when you are traveling; I finally broke down and took the time to find a solution .  I found the below service that charges a one time fee of fifteen U.S. dollars and allows me to use their SMTP servers for sending e-mail from my outlook e-mail accounts.  This service is great if you are using a notebook computer or a PDA to send your e-mail .  They also allow you to use their web based e-mail system to check all of your existing email accounts. Once you're logged into the web based e-mail system you can import all of your messages. You can also set up custom reply accounts and signatures.

Here are some of the testimonials and features that I copied from their site :

"One of the slickest, most powerful e-mail systems on the planet" The Sunday Times, London
"The world's best email service provider" The Sydney Morning Herald
"If you take your e-mail seriously, FastMail is the service for you" PC World
