Incomming Account Only

I have an account for my college that I want just sms (incomming mail) as I am unable to get my outgoing to work due to the client (firstclass). Is there a way to have a secondary account that just works as an inbox and all reply go out my primary account?

Thanks for the help
 
Hi,

You didn't mention what type of email you wanted to setup, however basically what you do is add the email account with manual setup:

Use the pop or imap server settings for your incoming account, and then for your outgoing server use the one for your primary account, but you have to give the smtp your primary account login (typically it would use the pop login)

This type of setup is common, for example on my laptop I have several accounts, but don't want to run into hassles from whatever network I might be connected to wirelessly. So I use the option for "my outgoing server requires authentication" and I use my VZW internet account and smtp to send. In that way it matters not who's network I'm on, all my mail goes out ok thru VZW.
