Using multiple email accounts

[Guest]

I have Outlook to work with 5 different email I accounts I manage with
different companies. I receive email fine for all the accounts. However
when ever I reply to an email it sends the reply from my default email
account. I know I can change this by using the Account drop down under the
Send button if I remember to.

On my previous machine with the same version of Outlook it was configured
that when I replied to an email it sent the email from the account the email
was delivered to.

What setting am I missing or over looking to make this work as my previous
system? I am using Outlook 2007.

Thank you

How are the accounts configured? Do you have them authenticating correctly?
outlook should use the account on which the message arrived in, unless it
can't send using that acts SMTP then it uses the default.

When I press the Reply button, I check to see which account it is going to be
sent from and it has marked it to be sent from my default account. I check
by dropping down the Acount list under the Send button. If I change it from
the default back to the account the email was delivered to, the email is sent
from the correct account.

is your default email account on Exchange server?

No. It is an Account setup through OfficeLive and uses Outlook Connector.
The other accounts connect using IMAP/SMTP.

I'm not sure what's going on then. Outlook /should/ reply using the account
that the message was sent to.....the only time AFAIK when it doesn't is when
there is an Exchange account set up in tandem with one or more POP
accounts....I have Outlook Connector and it seems to work OK....
