From: Jack B on 11 Jun 2010 10:29 Under Tools/Accounts, I have two accounts using the same email address. One is with a more formal user name, and the other is less formal and is the default. However, the more formal account seems to act as default -- when I Forward a message, for instance, the formal one is the one that automatically appears in the From line. How do I correct that?
From: Bruce Hagen on 11 Jun 2010 11:25 It should be forwarding from the account it was sent to. Since both are essentially identical, it probably is, but you don't realize it. Is there any reason you need two identical accounts? If not, remove one. If you need both, create a second Inbox and use a message rule to direct one of the accounts to download there. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Jack B" <jslimp01nospam(a)earthlink.net> wrote in message news:eMTHTKXCLHA.5476(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Under Tools/Accounts, I have two accounts using the same email address. > One > is with a more formal user name, and the other is less formal and is the > default.

From: Michael Santovec on 11 Jun 2010 16:03 Outlook Express always uses the same account for replies and forwards that DOWNLOADED the message The default account is used for new messages. If the multiple accounts are aliases for the same server POP3 account (They have the same settings at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers for both Incoming POP3 server AND Incoming Account Name), then any one of the accounts might download messages for any of the addresses. To see which account downloaded a message, select the Inbox folder, then View, Columns and add the ACCOUNT column. If this is the case, and you would like the Default account to be used for All replies, then there is an easy fix for this. At Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties General, Uncheck the Include this account for All accounts Except the Default one. Then the default account will download all the mail and will therefore be used for replies. -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "Jack B" <jslimp01nospam(a)earthlink.net> wrote in message news:eMTHTKXCLHA.5476(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Under Tools/Accounts, I have two accounts using the same email > address.

From: Jack B on 11 Jun 2010 16:12 Well, the email address is identical, but in one case (default), user name is simple; in the other, user name has a formal title for professional purposes. >It should be forwarding from the account it was sent to.< It should be, but is not. It forwards using the formal name unless I catch it and change it.

The problem is that you don't have two accounts. You have one account entered twice with different display names. OE doesn't recognize the display name, so I believe WYSIWYG. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Jack B" <jslimp01nospam(a)earthlink.net> wrote in message news:utYcdKaCLHA.5464(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Well, the email address is identical, but in one case (default), user > name > is simple; in the other, user name has a formal title for professional > purposes. > >>It should be forwarding from the account it was sent to.< > It should be, but is not.
