John, 

If your Email is at another ISP, you can retrieve with pop from
anywhere, but some ISP's don't allow Relaying, and therefore sometimes
block smtp to another ISP. You will have to use the SMTP server from
your active ISP. Or another option is using a google account to send
email. This way you can always send through the google smtp servers. 
or have your emails for your domain hosted by a hosting company as
godaddy, domaindiscover.... 

Don't know if I'm clear with my explanation.
