I use Outlook to support Services for both my personal and
my business email. However, when I respond to or originate
business email, Outlook inserts my personal email address
as the sender.

How can I make it use my business address?

Version of Outlook, and types of mail accounts?
 
I don't know what G. Berman's response will be regarding
his mail servers but I'm interested in the answer when
using Outlook 2002 and the personal account is Hotmail
(http) and the business account is pop mail.

(Sorry, I think I sent something to your email address by
clicking on the wrong button in the user group...I've
never done this before.)
 
I have done this and it is actually pretty straight forward. Go into Tools
Accounts and set up a business email account. when you send emails there

is a drop down (or was when I was doing it) and you can choose who you are
sending as.

OK -what mode? Check in help | about.
You'll find that OL2002/2003 are a lot better with regard to handling
multiple accounts.
What types of mail accounts are there?

POP, IMAP, HTTP, Exchange....
 
That works in Outlook Express, but not in Outlook.

It certainly does work in Outlook. If you have multiple accoutns within the
same profile, you should have an Accounts button on the tool bar of the
Compose window (or something similar, in Outlook 2000).
 
Brian,

I am using Outlook 2000 with services instead of accounts and I have
multiple accounts for home and business. I do not have a drop-down box on
the send button when I send an email. I have tried using the from button
that is accessed in the view menu and that works most of the time, except
when sending email to an AOL account holder. AOL rejects emails configered
this way.

Anybody else know a way to send from multiple POP3 email accounts in Outlook
2000?

Brian,

I am having the problem of not being able to switch accounts as well in
Outlook 2003 running in XP.

I have two e-mail accounts. Now, although there is a menu that allows you
to select which account to send e-mails, when I look at the sent folder after
the e-mail has finished sending, it states that my e-mail was sent using my
1st account. At first I thought all e-mails that were being sent was sending
under the default account, since my first account was the default. However,
I tried changing my default account to my 2nd account, and that didn't seem
to work either. It always sends my e-mails through my 1st account. Replying
e-mails seems to work fine in this regard though.

If you can please help us with this problem.

Everything I've read about OL 2003 indicates that if you reply to messages,
then reply will get sent via the account through which they arrived. Since
I receive mail only through a single account in Outlook (my other accounts
are send-only, pointing to free mail accounts on the Internet, like this
Yahoo! one. If I wish to read replies, I read them at the mailbox's web
site), I haven't tested this. When I send mail, I always select the
account, as long as it differs from my default account. I do know that
people receiving the mail see it as coming from the sender address
associated with the account I chose. So it seems to me, then, mail gets
sent using the account I specified. Those accounts all go through the
company Exchange server, but since they show the correct sender address, I
can't conclude anything except that Outlook always uses the account I
specify. I don't keep copies of any messages I send, so I have no idea what
would appear in the Sent Items folder and I don't really care. My goal is
to provide a specific address as the sender and everything I can see
indicates Outlook does that perfectly each time. I don't have anything
helpful beyond that, I'm afraid.
