As to why this comes up, I expect my own case is typical: I have 6 POP3 accounts with various providers. I can retrieve email from all of them when logged in with any of the providers, but SMTP access (for sending email) is often limited to the specific account I'm logged into.
How about using ssh to forward port 25 (or whatever) on localhost to 25 on your SMTP server? Then configure localhost as your SMTP server.
