Multiple email accounts within OUTLOOK 2003 - problem

[David]

For a long time, as well as having my bigpong emails coming in, I have also
had Outlook (2003) set up to receive email from a couple of Hotmail
accounts.

Some months ago (and I am sure it was after a Microsoft upgrade maybe in
January), ALL emails I am sending appear to the receipient to have come from
my bogpond account, NOT from the email account from which I intend to send
them (within Outlook). When I look at the email addresses set up in the
accounts, they are all OK.

Any suggestions as to the problem resolution please? I am hoping this is
not one of the added features of Outlook now!

Thanks folks.

Dave

Have you checked the Outgoing Mail server, that's what governs where
your mail is sent from.

Select Tools, E-Mail Accounts and ensure the View or change existing e
mail accounts radio button is selected. Click on next. Now select
each e mail account and click on change. Check the Outgoing Mail
Server (SMTP) The server name is in the form smtp. ispname.com where
the ispname.com is the domain from where your outgoing mail would be
sent.

You should also click on More Settings and check the Reply e-mail on
the General Tab

Normally you would send e mails from the smtp server of your isp (in
my case ntlworld so my smtp server is set to smtp.ntlworld.com) but
your reply e-mail might be set to your hotmail address so that
recipents would reply to hotmail.

Hope this helps

Replace NOSPAM with ntlworld to reply

if outlook can't connect to the correct server, it uses the one it can
connect to. I'd try a new profile with one hotmail account and test - if it
works, and another and verify it uses the correct with two in the profile.
