Change account when replying to message
I am using two accounts in Outlook Express 6 (Windows XP Home SP3 and IE8)
on my home PC. When I receive a message on the main default account and click reply to sender, the address of the secondary account is inserted in the "from" line. How can this be fixed? John |

John Two possibilities: -- Change the default account to the one you want to show there (in Accounts). Or, -- Near the top of the e-mail, click the From: line and select the other address. When you click there all acccounts will be available to choose from. HTH, Twayne` |

Change account when replying to message
Outlook Express always uses the same account for replies and forwards
that DOWNLOADED the message (which is not necessarily the account that matches the e-mail address the message was sent to). 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. If the accounts are not aliases, then you do need to have the Include this account checked for the non-alias accounts and will have to use the FROM drop down box when composing to set the desired account for that message. -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "John Louis" wrote in message ...
