Specify which email account to use in Microsoft Outlook

[Guest]

I have 3 different email accounts that I use. When I Create a new message it
sends from my *default* account. This is not always the account I want to
send from.
I realize there is an option to choose another account with a drop down menu
... but I always forget to use it. Invariably the email goes from the wrong
account.
Can this be programmed so I don't have to remember to manually change the
account every time? Is there a way I can tell it which one of my 3 emails
accounts to use every time I email that particular person?
