Well, Jan...the way it's *supposed* to work is the default setting is only for new mail....the replies are supposed to go out from the addy that they came to But...it's way buggy....whenever I tried it, my NEW mail would go out from the addy I last replied to, even if it wasn't my default...so I hear ya....all I can say is it's a bug in Outlook 2000 and seems to work better in 2002, but I haven't really put it to the test. Sorry. All I can say is I been where you are...if the "misery loves company" rule helps any LOL Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Janet MacGregor Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 3:44 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Emails bouncing-outbound email address Oh such fun to be a rookie! The response below received when I sent a reply to the list under an email address that is not subscribed. Question: I have several email addresses I use and have set jan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as my default. Seems for some reason it changes the account to my ISP email account jmacworld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Or does it only change it when an email is received at that address. Make sense? Account set to use jan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as default for email. Receive an email at one of my other addresses. Reply to that email must go out under the address it was sent to instead of the address I have selected as default Each subsequent email goes out under that address until I reselect the correct address from the accounts button. Why doesn't it stay with the address I select as default? Or do I have to select an account every time I send an email? Outlook 2002 Thanks, jan ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
