Is there a way to bypass having to use an outgoing SMTP server?

Hi all,
I'm always mailing from different places with my MacBook, and it's a drag that I have to figure out the outgoing SMTP server the whole time.
You don't have to fill in outgoing SMTP servers if you're using Thunderbird or Entourage, but I prefer working with mail because of it's Address Book & iCal integration.
Is there a way NOT to have to fill in a local SMTP server, without transferring to a paid .mac account etc?

Sounds like you've got it solved, but just for future reference, Google Mail (Gmail) allows you to use their outgoing mail servers for any email anywhere. I've got a Mac email, so I use the MobileMe Mail Server for that.
But I've also got another email that's non-Mac that I use for a vacation rental property. It uses a domain I bought. Then all I did was create a Gmail email account and then I can use Gmail's outgoing mail server (smtp.gmail.com) for this other email that's neither a Gmail or Mac account. You need to create a Gmail account to make this work cuz it uses authentication (Gmail email and password) to allow access to Gmail's outgoing mail server. But you don't need to use the Gmail email at all.
Hopefully this isn't too confusing. The bottom line to all this is I can use Gmail's outgoing mail server for any email address I have from anywhere in the world. I never have to change it.

  • Is there a way to bypass activity type/ cost element for CJ20n Activity?

    Hi Experts,
    Is there a way to bypass the activity type set in the Internal tab of a particular activity in CJ20n?
    Here's a background of the scenario:.
    - In CJ20n, under WBS element 100->Network 10->Activity 1, under the internal tab, the activity type set up is ACT1
    - Under person assignment, I have 2 resources assigned Person 1 and Person 2, with the following values:
      Person 1          Work: 1.0h Dur. 10D
      Person 2          Work: 2.0h Dur. 15D
    - In infotype 135, person 1 has a cost element set as ACT2 and person 2 has a cost element ACT3.
    - The problem is that when you bring up the Plan/ Actual comparision report (ctrl+F11 in CJ20n), the costs are consolidated for ACT1 and negates the cost elements for Person 1 and Person 2
    Is there a way to bypass this and use the individual cost elements set up for person 1 and person 2?

    I dont think this is possible for the scenario that you explained. I mean, you have a single activity which has 2 resources assigned and each of these resources has a different activity type. Standard SAP allows only 1 activity type for an activity.
    Just a query, why dont you create 2 different activities for these resources since the activity types are diff for both?

  • I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

    I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

    If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
    Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8).  If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
    Insert the disk then power down
    HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
    Get to Disk Utility
    If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
    When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down.  If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
    Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
    If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM  DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST.  REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system.  After re-installing the OS do a software update.  Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install.  This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
    If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
    If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk  and try a re-install.
    If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

    my computer keyboard has a bad "M" key so I cannot login into my computer from boot     is there a way to bypass the login to reset my macbook pro

    Late reply, but if anyone is experiencing the same problem, I've found a solution. For whatever reason, some macbooks don't recognize usb flash drives during the boot-up phase, even though the usb ports themselves are powered (I tested this with a multimeter). The solution then, was to use an external USB hard drive that has its own power supply to install Snow Leopard. I don't know why, but it's the only way I got my macbook (Macbook 2,1/A1181) to recognize the install drive. Every was smooth sailing from there!

  • Is there a way of not having to type in my password when i turn my macbook on?

    Is there a way of not having to type in my password when i turn my macbook on? Can i turn this off in system Preferences?

    Yes but that a bad idea.
    System Preferences, Users and Groups, click the Lock Icon and type in your password, click on Login Options, then in Automatic login set it to your user name.
    But as I said above that is a very bad idea. Anyone that turn on your computer would then be logged into your account, can read all your files and make changes to lock you out. Also in the duture when you may need to enter a password do do something you may forget what your password is.
    Good Luck.

  • Is there a way to bypass all inserts on a track at once?

    When recording with a ton of inserts, the latency is in the vicinity of about .5 seconds - so is there a way to bypass all inserts on a channel at one?
    So far, I have to open each one and hit "bypass" but I do it so much, since I need to hear it after the inserts, it ends up taking a lot of time.
    I also tried to save the channel setting, reset the channel, then re-insert the channel, but then all automation is lost....

    Not as far as I know, but there are two things that might help.
    1) You don't need to open a plug-in to bypass it - just option-click on its insert slot.
    2) Check out low latency mode. (prefs -> audio -> general) which will bypass plug-ins which exceed your latency preference. Click it off when you're done.

  • I just bought a new Macbook Pro and loaded all my info from My old Macbook...now i can't remember for the life of me my Admin Password 9which i created 3 years ago)...is there ANY WAY to bypass this on my new Macbook Pro and begin again...?

    i just bought a new Macbook Pro and loaded all my info from My old Macbook...now i can't remember for the life of me my Admin Password (which i created 3 years ago)...is there ANY WAY to bypass this on my new Macbook Pro and begin again...?

    I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
    1. Reboot
    2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
    3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
    (Type these commands very carefully)
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.

  • If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

    if I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

    Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.  If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I would also like this issue addressed.
    I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
    I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.

    Is there a way to create, store and use preset messages for use with "Messages". I often have a recurrinig message to send, after a repeating event, and need to enter the same short message each time. It would be nice to have this short message stored and selectable so that I do not need to enter each time.

    found an answer that seems to work:
