Re: [Phpgroupware-users] non-standard ports in email?

[Chris Weiss]

I looked into this some time ago and decided I don't understand Angles code 
quite
well enough to do it properly.

The difficulty arives because the email class auto chooses the port based on the
mail server type.  What I ended up doing for that one special case is hacking in
another mail server type with my port number.

This could be the easest way, the code could look for the port on the end and if
there isn't one then do it's normal thing...

you can sort of do this now by setting up an Extra Account for each email 
address
and then just choose that account before sending.  It would be really cool to be
able to choose what account to send from right from the compose/reply/forward 
screen
so you can reply FROM whatever account you want no matter where the email was 
sent
to.  IIRC Oulook Express does this by adding a From drop down list to the 
compose
headers.

just FYI, I'm CC'ing this to the anglemail list where the descusion really 
should be....
