Judy and All,
Thanks much for the feedback and information! I am sending this from home,
a reply from my seattleschools.org account, using Outlook, as per Judy's
instructions below - and using my own ISP as the outgoing mail server.
Works just fine (is also very fast, responds correctly to the "reply to"
field, drag & drop, etc, etc). I've left my messages on the server for now,
until I decide when and from where I will access this account primarily. If
you have a district account, an ISP that can send mail for you, and you
prefer using a full featured email program, I would highly recommend
configuring your seattleschools account at home to use something other than
OWA. Thanks again - Mark

Mark,
There are a couple of situations here, so you need to make some choices.
1. If you want to both send and receive mail, your two options are OWA or
the full Outlook client (note that this is Outlook, _not_ Outlook Express).
To use the full Outlook client, you use the Microsoft Exchange Server
service, _not_ Internet e-mail.
You can set the full Outlook client to point to mail.seattleschools.org and
it will work. It is better to point it to the actual server hosting your
e-mail account -- SNOCEX02.seattleschools.org if you are a teacher,
SNOCEX01.seattleschools.org for everyone else.
2. If you only want to read email, you can configure a POP3 or IMAP client.
Those clients must point to the actual server hosting your account --
SNOCEX02.seattleschools.org if you are a teacher,
SNOCEX01.seattleschools.org for everyone else. Using mail.seattleschools.org
won't work if your account is on SNOCEX02.
You can't send mail from the Exchange server if you are connecting from
outside the district. This is called relaying. It's a method used by
spammers, so we can't make it universally available. You can set up a POP3
or IMAP client so that it sends mail via your ISP rather than trying to send
it via the district. This is complicated, so I suggest you avoid it.
Thanks,
Judy

Hi All,
Wondered if others have had success setting up Outlook (or any other
popmail client) to access their seattleschools.org account from home,
i.e., outside the district...? I believe someone once mentioned this
should work, setting up the mail server to mail.seattleschools.org, and
using the same login/password as on OWA. Thanks - Mark
