I've do this.  I use Netcom to connect while out of town, so I can connect in
 most
cities.  My incoming mail, is my regular service, but my outgoing has to be the
netcom account.  If you don't use the service you are connecting to as your
outgoing mail, then none of your message will be sent.  Now, I'm not sure how it
looks, but this message will be a good example as I am connecting w/the Netcom
account.  Also, I only use this on my personal laptop, so I don't have the
 problem
describeed by Catherine below. And yes I do leave my mail on my server so I can
have it on my desktop at home where all my folders are. - Renee Atkinson

Hope this helps!
