mail sends through wrong POP account

[brent]

Comcast is my ISP. I also have a Yahoo pop account.

A few days after upgrading to Outlook 2002, Outlook
started trying to send my outgoing mail through my Yahoo
account.

I created a new user profile, which seemed to fix the
problem for few days, but then it started trying to send
through my Yahoo account again.

How do I force Outlook to send through my Comcast account?

Use the Accounts button in your message. Also, Outlook will try to send on
the account under which the mail was received so if you are responding to a
message you received via Yahoo!, Outlook will try to reply using that same
account.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the SWEN virus, all mail sent to my personal account will be deleted
without reading.

Thanks Milly.

Also, if you never want to try to send via Yahoo, point your Yahoo account's
outgoing server at the outgoing server for Comcast - that way, you'll never
have to change the account on replies and forwards.

I have the same problem but need to send from both email accounts. Is there no way to control which account should be used to send a reply/forward message. It is very annoying as it is since 50% of the time I am not allowed to reply because outlook tries to use fx my home account which is not allowed from my work ISP. Is is not possible to change this manually

The "Accounts" dropdown list on the message toolbar will let you do this.
