Default two accounts using the same email address

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?

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.

Default two accounts using the same email address

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.

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.

Yes, but this was not not a problem with the other pc (also win xp) in which
OE worked like I wanted.

"download all the mail" = including the mail under the formal user name I
assume.

When two OE accounts are going after the same server account, it's a
matter of chance as to which one will download the messages. And
whichever one downloaded the messages will be the default to replies and
forwards for those messages.

Being the default account in OE only applies to Sending New messages.
It has no other significance.

By configuring only one of the accounts to be included when receiving
mail you can control which one will download the messages and therefore
which one will be the default for replies and forwards.
