OUTLOOK 2013 -- cannot configure IMAP / POP3 wen away from home ISP
Hi there
Has anybody managed to get round the problem of bypassing the TEST SEND / RECEIVE e when setting up new EMAIL accounts on OUTLOOK 2013.
If you are AWAY from your home ISP you can't always SEND --a lot of ISP's block SEND mail unless you are actually logged on to their service or use their webmail facility.
With OUTLOOK 2010 you can disable the TEST SEND / RECEIVE email so you can still SET UP the account.
OUTLOOK 2013 fails because the TEST SEND fails and you can't skip the test.

in 2013 this option doesn't exist -- so I've been unable to set up my Home email account until I get home.
Seems to me a STUPID new feature -- often one wants to set up stuff when away from home -- and test it later.
Cheers
