Outlook 2k Reply address different than Default mail account
I have a client using Outlook 2000, Internet account settings only (not
exchange). They have 3 POP accounts, one of which is the default and when sending new mail, uses that default account. However when replying, it uses the first email account set up in the profile, which is not the default, and has since, been moved down to the 3rd position in the mail accounts settings window. Is there a way to change the way Outlook sends mail on replies without having to go into the email options and select the other accounts? Thanks in advance for your input. MW |

Outlook has always sent replies using the account over which the message was
received. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mark" wrote in message ... I have a client using Outlook 2000, Internet account settings only (not exchange).

Thanks for your reply Russ.
I would agree, however in this case it doesn't appear to be working properly. I can send a message to one of his accounts, and when he replies, it's being sent from one of the other POP accounts. Unless he goes into the options button of the reply email and selects the other account, it defaults to a different account, not the one it was received on. I use Outlook 2003 and it functions like you mentioned, by replying using the account on which it was received. However, his Outlook 2000 is not. I appreciate your input.

You're asking me to figure out how another sender changes his sending
account without knowing how he sent the message, Outlook version or mail account types? Rather a tall order, I'd say. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mark" wrote in message ...

Thanks for taking a stab at this Russ. I'm doing my best to explain this as
it does appear to not be working correctly. As for Account type and version, I believe I had liststed he's using POP3 email accounts on Outlook 2000. User has 3 POP3 mail accounts set up on his Outlook 2000. Two are hosted by a local carrier and one by Network Solutions. I can send a message to his Net Solutions account and he receives it as such. However, when he replies, it's being sent via one of hte other mail accounts, neither of which are set as default. I thought maybe there was a setting I was missing or reg hack that was available for correcting this. Thanks M "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2000 exists as two completely separate versions.
It will be necessary to know which mail support mode he is using. Corp/Workgroup mode will use whichever transport is listed at the top of the Delivery Order. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mark" wrote in message ... Thanks for taking a stab at this Russ.

Thanks Russ.
He is using Internet POP3 mail accounts only. No Exchange or Corp/Workgroup environment. I don't know if it will assist in narrowing down possibilities, but the account it uses when he replies, is his Internet provider POP account, which also was the first account he had set up on the machine. Even though it is not currently the default, it will use it when replying. Thanks again for your input. M "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Just because he is using POP accounts does not mean he is not using
Corp/Workgroup. IMO sends replies over the account over which the message is received. Behavior other than that is inexplicable. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mark" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your input Russ. Much appreciated. I'll check the account
settings again. Have a great weekend. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... Just because he is using POP accounts does not mean he is not using Corp/Workgroup.
