Outlook & Hotmail Various Email Accounts

[presidium]

I am currently re-directing various emails (from external accounts) to my
windows live hotmail account and I also syncronise with Outlook 2007. All my
e-mails sent to any of the accounts do come through my Outlook 2007. However,
Outlook does not give me the option to send a new email via my additional
account names - how can i configure this in outlook?

To send from a different account perfrom these simple tasks.
1) open outlook
2) go to tools
3) account settings
4) Click on the account you want to send from and then make it the default
account
5) You must preform this task each time you want to change the account you
want to e-mail from.

Please, until you get a little more experience so you know what you're
doing, stop trying to give advice. You're failing to address the problems
as stated.

Since you're redirecting all your other addresses to your Windows Live
account, Outlook cannot tell they've been sent to multiple addresses. As
far as Outlook is concerned, the messages are all being addressed to your
Windows Live account.

If you want to be able to reply with one of a number of sending addresses,
you must have an account for each address defined in Outlook and then when
replying choose the account having the address you want the recipient to
see. Typically, thes extra accounts will need to be POP/SMTP or IMAP/SMTP,
even if you don't use them for receiving mail. I don't believe you can send
via SMTP through the Windows Live servers (at least, not yet), so you'll
need to use a free server like gmail. You can configure an account using
gmail that appears to come from any address you choose.
