Multiple POP accounts?

[sf.dave]

Hi. I have 2 POP accounts set up in Outlook 2003. Both work fine.
However, I would like all outgoing mail to be sent via account #2 (the
default account).

New messages properly default to account #2. However any mail received
via account #1 defaults to sending replies via account #1. I have to
manually change it each time to send via account #2.

In send/receive options, account #1 is set to only receive, but that
doesn't seem to matter.

Maybe there's a way to apply a rule to rewrite (or remove?) the
"Delivered-To" header as soon as a message is received from account #1?

any help would be appreciated,
Dave

If you set all the details (except for POP3 server login & password) of
account #1 to be the same as account #2's that should do the trick, I'd
think

Can't you configure account 1 to use the same outgoing server settings as
account 2?

Thanks guys. I forgot I could specify separate login info for the
smtp server. That was the key. Seems fine now. For anyone who
cares, the idea here was to use a free gmail account as a 2GB mailbox
for an expensive hosted domain account. I have 2 hosted domain
accounts: (e-mail address removed) is just a forward to a gmail account.
(e-mail address removed) is an account that has SMTP relay rights. So
outlook POPs mail from gmail and sends mail out via the relay account.
