From: drop down list

[Guest]

Hi,

I have two e-mail accounts. When I sent messages with Outlook Express there
was a From: box with a drop down list offering me these two e-mail accounts
so that I could choose which one to send from. I have just installed Outlook
from XP Office and when I send an e-mail the From: drop down list offers me
everyone in the address book instead of my own two e-mail accounts.

I would be very grateful for any advice on how to change this, please.

Thanks.

Mike.

Use the Accounts button.

Use the Accounts button.

Thanks Brian,

Although in my version of Outlook the Accounts button doesn't actually show
the e-mail accounts, it just shows the mail servers.

Actually, it shows the names of your accounts, which default to the names of
the servers if you don't change the names.

Thanks ever so for your help, Brian.
