watching multiple exchange email accounts -send from each?

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2003 SP2 and exchange small business server 2003 standard.
I have several email accounts coming into my outlook and, although I have
set up sep. in-box-type folders so they will group coming in, I cannot figure
out how to initiate an email from another one of these accounts (it always
looks like it is coming from my main user account). In my previous vs I
could just choose which account I wanted to send from - but this doesn't seem
to be an option anymore.

When I look at email accounts, it looks like I just have 1 exchange account.
I have added the other email addresses I watch under the user email account
properties on the server and they are definately coming in. These other
email accounts don't actually have other USER profiles in Exchange associate
with them.
Help?

Display the From field on the message and type in the name of the mailbox you want to send from.

Sue, thanks, I tried that but I just get an "undeliverable" when I try to
send from one of these account to anyone inside or outside the domain. Any
idea why that wouldn't be working?

Have you asked your Exchange administrator if you have permission to send on behalf of those other mailboxes or if those accounts have restrictions?

They are set up as mail addresses on SBS under the user - not as seperate
users. When I try to use the FROM field I just get an undeliverable that
says this:
" You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance,
contact your system administrator." Problem being that I AM MY system
administrator! (What a bummer.) Anyway, I looked under the user properties
on Exchange and did not see editable permissions on each email address I have
listed under a particular user.

I DID make a change on the EXCHANGE GENERAL TAB under Delivery Options.
There is a SEND ON BEHALF OF: "Grant this permission to:" and I added my
user name (under my own user account) and tried to send an email from one of
the listed mailboxes to an inside domain and an outside domain account and
get undeliverables either way.

Please, any other ideas?

On each of the mailboxes that you want to send from, you need -- at a minimum -- that Send on Behalf permission. Make that change, not on your own user account but on the other user accounts.

I don't think we quite understand each other. On Exchange SBS 2003 standard
when you create a user, it creates a mailbox, user folder, login ID etc. So
under say user JSmith, in the properties of the user, I can add mutiple email
addresses from our domain that will all go into the same JSmith User Profile.
(e-mail address removed) and (e-mail address removed) for instance. There is NO USER "INFO"
- only an email address listed under the properties of JSMITH as an account
to receive mail for. Therefore there is no different security or permissions
or even a different USER for these 2 addresses - SAME USER ACCOUNT.

I don't want to set up new "fake" users for these accounts - they will never
log in as INFO into the domain, they don't have sep. computers, etc.

Get it?

You're right. I didn't understand. So those aren't multiple accounts at all, but multiple addresses associated with a single user?

In that case, Outlook has no built-in feature to do what you want. You'll need to use a third-party add-in; see http://www.ivasoft.biz.

If you had created a separate user and assigned it the (e-mail address removed) address, you could use the method I described.
