I'm really close to throwing my laptop out the window. I mostly blame SBCYahoo for this, but I cannot tell if they are entirely to blame. Here's the problem - I hate web based email... it's slow, hard to navigate, and dosn't work unless I'm connected to the internet, which I'm frequently not (like when I'm on a plane). Problem is, at home SBCYahoo forces me to use "smtp.sbcglobal.net" as my outgoing mail server, even though my actual email is from other domains. That's fine as long as I'm at home.

Problem is, whenever I leave the house, I have to change my SMTP server to something else... typically it takes a mission to figure out what works depending on where I'm sitting. Right now, I've wasted 30 minutes just trying to send a *%&$* email. One email. Why is this so difficult? Why is there no "universal" smtp thing that just works?
