I use Outlook to grab my messages from MSN; it grabs the messages okay but
when I start a new message or hit reply, it does not automatically fill in
the FROM box with my email address...I have to put that in manually...how do
I make my own email address the default FROM/SENDER?

Any help on this would be appreciated!
 
What version of Outlook are you using? You shouldn't need to use the From
box at all; you should be choosing the sending account from the Accounts
button on the toolbar. By default, a reply or forward should go out using
the same account from which the original message was received.

Then you should just use the Accounts button to choose a sending account. If
you're replying or forwarding and just want to check which e-mail account
will be used for sending (and that information isn't already showing on the
Infobar), click the Accounts button and the sending account will be checked.
