Sending from Multiple Accounts in Outlook 2K

[chris]

In our office we run an internal exchange server, but also
want to connect to an externally hosted email provider to
occassionally send and receive email.

In Outlook XP we can do this no problem. But on our older
machines that only have Outlook 2K we can only receive
email from the external provider, not send even though all
the settings are the same as they are in Outlook XP.

Is there a way to enable this option? Simply typing in the
email address in the from field returns the following
message: You do not have the permissions to send the
message on behalf of the specified user.

Having Internet Mail and Exchange in the same mail profile in versions of OL
prior to OL2002 isn't supported -

Why not just host your domain's Internet mail on the Exchange server? It's
very easy, and is a LOT better from an admin perspective as well as the
benefit to users.
