email

[BRENDA]

for some reason (probably a setting that I missed when we got the new comp.
with Vista OS nearly a yr ago.) some of my outgoing mail will have the
xxxxxxxx @verizon.net on it rather than thexxxxxxxx@ msn.com. Consequently,
the reply goes to another mailbox that I have never intended to use and only
accidently stumbled upon it, Can anyone tell me where I should be looking to
make the adjustment so all my outgoing email has my primary XXXXXXXXXX@msn
address so it will come back in the replies to that address??????????
I very easily located it when I had XP. Now I have Vista 32 and 64 bit and
there seem to be a lot of different places to ck for proper settings.
Initially, there was even a challenge with having msn for my homepage.BUT
with perseverance we have it the way we want it. Just to get this other
setting corrected.
Thank you so much in advance.

It's in the exact same place as in Outlook Express on XP...

Tools - Accounts - (youraccount) - Properties - General tab
E-mail address: ________
Change the Verizon address to the MSN address
OK

How do you know that "some of my outgoing mail will have the xxxxxxxx
@verizon.net on it"? Is it because "the reply goes to another mailbox"? If
there is no other evidence, then I think there are other possible
explanations. Since this is happening to "some" of your outgoing messages
and not all, it seems unlikely that the problem is the email address in the
account properties. Do you know what the reply address is (probably it is
blank) in the account properties?

Probably this problem cannot be diagnosed without more information and the
information that would be needed would depend on other information. In other
words, it might be too complicated to diagnose in a newsgroup such as this.
Perhaps it would help if you were to show the headers of a sample message,
but if you don't know how to do that (I assume you don't) then it would be a
bit of work to explain things. The important thing is that you should
somehow remove the email addresses from the headers before posting to a
public place such as here.

So if you know someone that is adequately technical that can look at your
system directly, then it would be appropriate to get them to help.

Do you use only the Windows Mail program when sending? If so, look in
Tools, Accounts. Is there a Verizon account as well as an MSN account?
