1 Profile - 1 Email Account - Multiple Email "From" Addresses (ali

[OntarioCanuck]

Hello

I have a single physical (IMAP) email account that can receives email from
several email addresses (eg shop@ admin@ myname@). All come in to a single
account email address.

I want to be able to reply and be able to select who it looks like the reply
is coming from (maybe even have it choose the appropriate one automatically).

I don't want to have 3 different email accounts showing in my mail folders
items and don't want separate profiles.

Thunderbird calls these identities. I haven't found a simple effective way
in Outlook 2007.

Thanks!

Your best workaround would be to create 2 pop3 accounts (use localhost for
pop3 server name and use your isp smtp server) for the additional accounts.
At the very least you should be able to change what the sending account is
when replying/forwarding/new items.

Other than that, no version of Outlook offers what Thunderbird is doing.

ps - you will want to play around with the send/recieve groups so IMAP is
always active for in/out and limit the two pop3 items to not receiving
items.

Outlook doesn't do separate folders for separate email addresses. So the
issue of having 3 accounts doesn't matter. Outlook will a) automatically use
the account that an email was sent TO, to reply, and b) when you send a NEW
email, you can choose the account from which it is sent via the "Accounts"
button in the New Mail window...
