| 544413 | 2007-04-26 07:03:00 | I have a need to forward anemailaddress @ xtra to another machine, where the connection is not with xtra, and therefore they can no longer pick up their own mail as xtra do NOT allow customers connected to the net via paradise to pick up email from xtra servers :( I thought that would be simple, i got OE on the XP machine that is xtra connected (machine 1) to save a copy of all the addy@xtra email, and forward it to a new address. (machine 2) Simple? Yes? NO. What it's doing is forwarding the message, but rewriting it so it not only is it going to the new recipient, but, it is now seen as coming from the original recipient address instead of the original sender. This, as you can imaging causes a new set of issues, as now there is no way of those at machine 2 telling who sent the email apart from going back to machine 1 and looking at the original.:badpc: Any solutions out there? |

Get a domain based email account, and then you don't need to worry about the stupid rules that ISPs make that prevent you downloading emails . |

However, the @xtra address is one that would have to be phased out slowly as too many people are using it, i believe it's also on business cards, and various other things that embed it somewhat in the now :( | personthingy (1670) | ||
| 544417 | 2007-04-26 08:20:00 | Domain email still has to go to an ISP mailbox for downloading. Set OE to leave mail on the server and the other party can get the same messages using Xtra Web Mail |

| 544418 | 2007-04-26 08:27:00 | The other thing you could do is subscribe to Xtra Secure Remote mail SSL xtra.co.nz |

| 544419 | 2007-04-26 08:31:00 | Does machine 1 need to see the mail? Why can't they log onto Xtra webmail and set email forwarding to their current ISP email address. | PaulD (232) | ||

Set OE to leave mail on the server and the other party can get the same messages using Xtra Web MailThe other party can't understand favorites in IE, so i don't think thats an option . . Also, the "must use ISP" comment??? Ones non-ISP domain based mail has to go through a mailserver, but not necessarily one of an ISP . My domains are registered through register-direct . My mail is picked up from their servers . pop . millerton . co . nz is just an alias for registerdirects mail server . It therefore makes no difference what ISP a machine uses i am on when picking mail up . The secure connection as listed in your last post might work tho . I would prefer it if machine 1 could simply forward to an address picked up by machine 2 . . . . . O why can't we have Kmail on windows? :p |

Why can't they log onto Xtra webmail and set email forwarding to their current ISP email address.It would help if users of machine 1 could see the xtra mail, which may or may not apply to them. However if it was possible to forward the @xtra address to the @paradise address uses xtras own servers, then that would be the simple solution! I'll try that tomorrow when i have the pass handy. |

| 544422 | 2007-04-26 08:51:00 | The option "Forward and keep a copy" would allow 1 to pick up email if necessary and 2 would automatically get a copy forwarded to them from Xtra's server. I use this to forward every thing to a Yahoo acct just as an email backup. |
