Controlling which account an e-mail is sent by the recipient

[Brian Scheffer]

I have two separate e-mail accounts, one for business and another for
personal. I also keep my business and personal contacts in two separate
contact folders. Is there a way to control which account an e-mail is
delivered through based on a contact. I want to avoid having to "select"
which account to use when sending an e-mail.

Thanks for any guidance.

Not possible that way, as far as I know.

What about using two separate mail profiles? You can have them use the same
PST file so your data is all in one place....

That requires closing outlook and selecting a new profile which is more
effort than selecting the account and I am keeping the messages in separate
stores. The rules wizard enables me to keep the business and personal
separate without having to open and close outlook. I would have expected
the rules wizard to have something similar for which account mail is sent
through.

Thanks for the feedback.

No, don't think you can do this via rules.... sorry.

Thanks for the feedback.
