multiple email accounts

[Guest]

When using multiple email accounts in Outlook Express, composing a new
message, there is a drop down box above Cc: and To: called From:. Does the
same thing exist in Outlook 2003? I know there is an Accounts button in
Outlook, but unlike OE, it does not show you what account is being used by
just looking at the window, one has to click on the button to find out, it
would be nicer if the current From: account was just displayed along with
everything else.

No, there's not a field like that.

When you "Reply-To" a message, the account used will be shown in a banner
just above the "To..." field.

When you compose a message, it'll assume the default account, unless you
click the "Accounts" button and select a non-default account.

You can, select the Options button drop-down-arrow and click upon the "From"
field entry, this'll display the From field on your email messages, however,
due to what appears to be yet another bug in O2K3 this field isn't populated
automatically unless you manually fill it in... perhaps it'll work with
Exchange server only - maybe a MVP could take this up.
