Two e-mail accounts, but the wrong one appears to be the default

I have two e-mail accounts. Let's call them and .
I used to use for along time. Now, I want to use
as my regular e-mail address. I've gone to Tools/Account settings and set
as my default e-mail account. This works when I'm sending new
mail, but when I reply, it seems to always reply using the and
I have to select the from the account button.

How can I make the default e-mail account when replying
without deleting altogether?

Thank you,

Bill

A reply is sent using the account the original msg was received on

While DL is correct, keep in mind that Outlook doesn't equate "account" with
"e-mail address". If you want messages that were sent to the address
(and thus received with the account configured to contain the
address) to appear to come from , simply moditfy
the account and change its mail address (without changing any
other property) to . Then, when you reply, even thought the
message will go out using hte account, since that's the account
that received it, the recipient will see the reply as coming from the
address.

Thanks Brian.
