default account sent all mail from all accounts on reply and forwa

[Guest]

Hi,

I use Outlook 2003 and have more than one e-mail account from various
servers all around the world. I can receive mails from all these servers
whereever I am but most servers do not allow "relay sending". Currently when
I reply on a mail received from a non-default address, outlook tries to sent
the mail using that non-default address as the sender and it results in a
failured delivery. Therefore I prefer that all replies and forward messages
are sent from my default amail ddress. How do I set that up?

Outlook will always use the receiving account to send a reply. You can't
change that.

One thing I can think of that you can do is to include your default mail
address as the sender address for all of these accounts. Then no matter
which account replies, the address will always be the default sender. If
you want to be able to send with any of thoese other addresses, set up
additional accounts with those sending addresses, but don't include them in
the Send/Receive group as receiving accounts. Make them sending accounts
only.

Brian,

Thank you for the advise. What is the procedure to do that?

You know how to modifiy existing accounts, correct? You know how to create
new accounts, correct? You know how to alter the Send/Receive group,
correct? If not, with which do you need help?

Brian,

This is where I get to:

tools/ e-mail accounts/ change e-mail acc/ and finally the change button. I
have for catogories: user info, server info, logon info and test settings.
Where exactly do I enter the default sender address?

Ooo. I need to do this exact thing too but with only 2 accounts. I want
everything to show up as if being sent from one account even though it's
being received from a different account.

What exactly do you mean by: "include your default mail address as the
sender address for all of these accounts."

Do you mean set my maina ccoutn as the Reply-To setting or is there a
different setting you are referring to? I'm on a 2002 box right now so can't
check everything to see if there's a different setting in 2k3 I have at home.

Thanks.

The sender address is the "E-mail Address" field on the screen you see after
clicking Change

The Reply-To is independent of the sender address and it not what I meant.
CLick Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Select the account and click Change. The
sender adfdress is contained in the field labeled "E-mail Address" and
usually you can make it whatever you want, provided you're properly
authenticating to your outgoing mail server. So, if you have an account
that gets mail from xyz.com, you can set your E-mail Address to be
(e-mail address removed) for sending, specify xyz's SMTP server for the Outgoing
Server, specify xyz's username and password for credentials, and on the
Outgoing Server tab you see after clicking More Settings, check the box
labeled "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication", and select the
"Use same settings as my incoming mail server" radio button. For an account
that gets mail from abc.com, you can specify (e-mail address removed) as the E-mail
Address value, specify abc's incoming server, use abc's username and
password as credentials, but use xyz.com's SMTP server for the Outgoing
Server, and on the Outgoing Server tab, check the authentication box again,
but select the "Log on using" radio button, specifying XYZ's credentials in
the username and password fields.

Ah OK. I'm with you now. Thanks. I guess I jsut assumed that had to match
the email I was checking but since I'm specifying the actual login info it
would make sense that I could change that.

Thanks!
