'From' address heading in Outlook Express
If you have more than one mail account set up in OE, then the From box
becomes a drop down box and lets you select alternate addresses. The From information comes from the General tab for the account. If you are still going to retrieve the mail via Yahoo, then on the General tab for the new account you do NOT want to check the Include this account when receiving mail. On the Servers tab, you need to use the same SMTP settings as for the existing account. The POP3 settings don't matter as long as they are of the valid format since you wont be receiving mail via this account. They may as well be the same as your existing account. If the ) allows the option of accessing the mail directly (e.g. via POP3 or IMAP) rather than having it forwarded to Yahoo, then you have another option. You could get up OE to retrieve the mail directly. This has the advantage that replies to those message will automatically select that for the From rather than Yahoo. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Skimbleway" wrote in message ...

'From' address heading in Outlook Express
Thank you for your prompt response to my enquiry - I have done as you suggest
but now I find that having in Account Properties, the General tab, changed the "E-mail address" from ' to ' I cannot send e-mail. I get the following error message - "The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was '. Subject 'test', Account: 'PCS ARM's South West:', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 From: address not verified; see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/alternate_email/index.html', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC78". Any ideas as to what is wrong? Best wishes. "N.

'From' address heading in Outlook Express
The problem may be the use of a SMTP (outgoing) server other than the one
provided by your ISP. Most ISP's do not allow the use of another server when they have no means to authenticate the sender. You may need to contact your provider for help with the issue. A workaround would be to use the SMTP (outgoing) server of your ISP.
