Reply address always defaults to exchange address

[News]

I run outlook 2003 on XP SP2. I have an exchange account (exchange server
5.5 on SBS) and 2 pop accounts. When I reply to an e-mail, even if it is
from either of the POP accounts, the reply address defaults to the exchange
account. Outlook should use the reply address of the account the e-mail was
sent to but does not.I can change the account manually for every reply
e-mail but would like Outlook to set reply address to the same account that
the original e-mail was sent to. Thanks, in advance,

Robert

This may be an SBS thing...try posting in
microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz for more help with SBS 4.5. I know
SBS2003 does funky things like this. I personally don't mix account types in
a mail profile, and don't recommend it anyway - you have more functionality
if Exchange handles *all* your mail....

I have a similar situation that I will post a new question on . Some of my
email replies come from the address to which the email was sent and others
come from my default address. It might have to do with case sensitivity. To
come from the originating address, the address seems to have to have the
same case throughout.

For example if I have an account (e-mail address removed) and I receive an
email addressed exactlthat way the reply will come from
(e-mail address removed) . If however somebody has sent me an email to
(e-mail address removed) my reply will be sent from (e-mail address removed)
instead.

I'm not sure about the case sensitivity thing. I've just noticed a few
emails that fit this scenario; I'll keep watching.

I'm using OL2000 on XP; no exchange account.

Let me know if you find a solution that might help on my end.
