sending from wrong account

[aa]

Outlook 2000 (9.0.0.2711) on XP.
I have the main mailbox given to me by my Internet Provider, on which I
receive and send from as well as several internet mailboxes which I check
for incoming mail but which do not allow to email from Outlook and require
to login into the relevant website.
It's OK. But since recently when I reply ot forward an email which came to
my main mailbox, it tries to send it via one of the Internet mailboxed which
of course fails saying No transport provider". If I create a new messge from
the scrartch ot work OK automatically sending it from my main box.
How do I fix it? On my destop w2k (for the moment I am usimg a notebook with
XP) Outlook has been installed from the same CD, but on the button SEND it
has a drop-down which lists all the accounts available to send from. On XP
installation for some reason this drop down is missing. Also on w2k there is
a tab where I can chacnge the default account and I cannot find this tab on
XP installation. I do not remember how I made my main mailbox to be a
default account.
Probably it happened because it was the first account I set up.

Any particular reason you're using that mode? Internet Mail Only mode allows
a bit more control over account usage

No,
Probably this was a default mode automatically selected during installation?
Anyway how do I sweitch it to Internet Mail Only mode?

IMO is the default installation mode. Anyway, unless you need to access an
IMAP account, there's not need to change back to IMO mode.
Corporate/Workgroup mode handles POP/SMTP just fine.

But not multiple pop3 accounts. It only replies using the default acct.

Thanks, Vince, that resource does not mention that this reconfiguration
requires the installation disk. Worse it does not say
that once you started reconfiguration and failed to insert the disk at the
prompt, Outlook cannot be used for when I try to start it it keeps asking
for the disk, but I am away from home travelling and have no disk on me. Can
I now roll it back somehow?
