two accounts using the same email address
Under Tools/Accounts, I have two accounts using the same email address. One
is with a more formal user name, and the other is less formal and is the default. However, the more formal account seems to act as default -- when I Forward a message, for instance, the formal one is the one that automatically appears in the From line. How do I correct that? |

two accounts using the same email address
It should be forwarding from the account it was sent to. Since both are
essentially identical, it probably is, but you don't realize it. Is there any reason you need two identical accounts? If not, remove one. If you need both, create a second Inbox and use a message rule to direct one of the accounts to download there. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Jack B" wrote in message ...

two accounts using the same email address
Outlook Express always uses the same account for replies and forwards
that DOWNLOADED the message The default account is used for new messages. If the multiple accounts are aliases for the same server POP3 account (They have the same settings at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers for both Incoming POP3 server AND Incoming Account Name), then any one of the accounts might download messages for any of the addresses. To see which account downloaded a message, select the Inbox folder, then View, Columns and add the ACCOUNT column. If this is the case, and you would like the Default account to be used for All replies, then there is an easy fix for this. At Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties General, Uncheck the Include this account for All accounts Except the Default one. Then the default account will download all the mail and will therefore be used for replies. -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "Jack B" wrote in message ...
