A Dell rep showed me how to access account properties in Windows Live Mail, and I was able to duplicate the setting of another computer that was working properly.

Previously, using Windows Mail under Vista, I was able to set &quot;Authentication required&quot; which allowed me to send email via other servers than my home server. &nbsp;With Windows Live Email, I cannot find a way to configure my outgoing email SMTP parameters. &nbsp;In fact the only thing I seem to be able to do is create a new Windows Live Account. &nbsp;I see no reason to do that since at home my email works fine, both POP and SMTP. &nbsp;When I travel. SMTP fails, probably because authentication is not set.<br />

How can I set &quot;authentication required&quot;?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
