Force outlook use the current account instead for new messages

[Dev]

Hi,

I have 4 different accounts set up in my Outlook 2007. When a create a new
message, outlook uses the default account instead of the account (inbox) I am
viewing.

This means I need to double check the selected account every time. Is there
a way to force outlook use the current account instead of the default account
for new messages ?

Regards

There is no such thing as a "current account" with the configuration you
describe. Viewing a message in a folder in no way designates the sending
account as "current."
You created a profile with 4 active accounts. All accounts are "current."
Only one can be the default.
Perhaps you might like to configure Outlook differently to suit your needs
better. Most of us just remember to select a different sending account from
the dropdown if we don't want to use the default account.
