Sending from one account, appearing as another

[-Bryan]

I have several accounts in outlook 2007 running on vista). At home, I am
unable to send through my business account, because cox wants all emails
going through their server, so I only have two choices.

I can send messages through my personal account, but all replies get
directed back to my personal account, and some recipients I prefer not to
have my personal account.

I can log onto the webmail of my business account using my browser and send
emails, but it does not give me the funcionality and access to all my outlook
features and inboxes.

Can I send mail through my personal account when at home, yet have it appear
as if it was sent through my business account to the recipient? I've heard
this was possible, but am unable to find the option.

Thank you in advanced.

Yes, you can do this. Instead of using the business SMTP server settings,
use the one provided by Cox.

So I would have to go in and change the settings in my account to mirror my
cox account, and then switch them back when at work?

I was hoping there was a simpler solution, such as a setting.

Thanks anyways!

You're using a laptop? Why didn't you say so?
Then you can create an additional business account so you have one with the
SMTP server settings of your business and one for Cox. In your send/receive
settings make sure you only set one account to receive or your could end up
with duplicates.

When sending, you can now use the Accounts button to select which SMTP
server to use.

Does the business SMTP submission server listen on a port other than port
25? If so, you can set up the business server as a different account than
the personal server.

Thanks Roady,
I'll try and set it up. I'll have to go through all the editting and figure
out what the cox settings are. My business goes the a webserver that uses
horde for the mail client. I have no idea what the settings do, so I'll just
be copying.

Basically, if I understand you, I'll just use the (e-mail address removed) and fill
out all the settings with the cox outgoing server info, correct?

I think I spoke to soon. I tried setting up a new account using the outgoing
setting of my home isp(cox) with the name of my business account (a different
web based service), and my test messages fail.

I entered the email address I want shown ([email protected]), them smtp of cox
(smtp.cox.west.net), and the logon info and password of my cox account. After
the first failure, I went into advanced settings and required the use of the
password for outgoing, but it still didn't help.

Any hints?

P.S.
Norman, thanks for the reply, but I have no idea how all this stuff works.

No, you need to set the login information for the work account. Set the
authentication on the SMTP server with the login information of the Cox
account.

Thank you, all seems to be well now!
