sending from default account

[Guest]

I am running Office 2003 Pro. When SENDING from multiple accounts, even if I
tell Outlook which account to send from by going to "Accounts" and clicking
on the proper account, Outlook still WILL NOT send from that account. It
often won't even send from the DEFAULT account. Any ideas?

Any error message?
See if removing and re-adding the accounts helps.

Hi BillR
Nope, no error message. Just sends from WRONG account even though I have
instructed it to send from a specific account.
Not sure why this might work, but I'll give it a try. Not a simple task when
there are seven accounts to remove and add.
I'll give it a few tries and then repost.
Thanks for the post.

Usually caused by the inability to connect to the requested account.
Outlook 2003 tries other accounts in turn until it finds one that works.
The most frequent reason is failure to authenticate to the outgoing server
of the chosen account.
