Hello, thank you for your time,
I run my business from home and will be moving soon to a new city, however I will be subletting a house for a month in the new city, while finding my new place. I will have access to wireless airport at my sublet.
Will I still be able to send and receive email or do I need to do an email forwarding service to an online account like yahoo?? I need to keep my business email address while I am in transition to move and I'm just not sure how to go about it... My email addy *is* a domain name, cat@domainname.com, but last time I left my city, I could only receive email and not respond back. I need to be able to send & receive faxes as well & I am bringing my HP fax/printer/all-in-one. Can I do it through the internet?? Kind of lost here...
My current internet is through the cable company, fax is through the phone company and my work email looks like it comes IN through a server independent of the cable company (same domain name as my email addy. ie: "mail.domainname.com") and goes out through "smtp.west.cox.net" (cable company). I'm on a Mac Powerbook G4 OSX vers10.4.10.
I've never quite grasped setting up email, so I'm rather confounded. Will I need to sign up for the local cable/fax service in the new city for that one month I sublet?

The reason you're able to receive but not send email when you're way is that most email providers don't allow users to send through their servers when the user isn't connected to their Internet server as well.
The easiest way to circumvent this is to use Mac OS X's built-in SMTP (outgoing mail) server. You can use app4mac's free RapidoSMTP to activate this. This utility, and the info on the Web site, ought to provide all the instruction you need, but let me know if you get lost.

I received your first response sent a day before this one. You're welcome. Not lame at all; in fact, a common frustration Apple ought to clarify.
