Easy way to set reply to address?
Is there a way to quickly and easily set the reply-to address when sending
an email? I belong to various mailing lists and these lists only accept emails from various specific addresses so that if I'm for one list and I'd like to be able to switch quickly and easily between these. The only think I've found so far is in the options I can change the reply to using the contact list or I assume I can type something in also but is there a way to show (and change) the reply-to address in the email composition window? Thanks, Martin |

Create two accounts, one with each address, and use the Accounts button to chose the correct sender. It works for me. -- Brian Tillman |

Thanks for the reply, but multiple accounts require multiple mailboxes whereas
I'm trying to use aliases on the same mailbox. Martin Zardecki wrote: Is there a way to quickly and easily set the reply-to address when sending an email?

Easy way to set reply to address?
So here's what happens, I setup multiple accounts going to the same mailbox
such that each account has a different email address. This solves the problem of being able to send emails using different aliases. But I have the the delete option on the pop3 tab turned off such that my emails will stay on the server until I delete them from the inbox....I do this in case I may wish to use the email from a different PC or location. Now Outlook pulls down the same email for each account into my personal inbox. The functionality I'm looking for in outlook is the ability to specify different aliases (email addresses) for a single account....Thunderbird does this via "Identities". Alternatively if a "Reply-to" line could be presented in message composition window so that typing in a reply-to address could be easy would also solve the problem. My reason for needing alias capabilities is privacy, if I'm subscribing to a public mailing list I want to use an alias instead of my regular email. Yes I could open another Hotmail or Gmail account but using aliases allows me to control all my emails from a single source. If these features don't exist I humbly submit them as feature requests. Thanks for your feedback. Martin Zardecki wrote: Thanks for the reply, but multiple accounts require multiple mailboxes whereas I'm trying to use aliases on the same mailbox. No they don't. |

Change your send/receive group so that one of the accounts doesn't download mail at all. While viewing Inbox, press ALT-CTRL-S. Select your send/receive group (probably "All Accounts") and click Edit. Select the second account and uncheck the box labeled "Receive mail items" or, in fact, you may even be able to uncheck "Include the selecte account in this group". That's what I've done. -- Brian Tillman |

Yep, that did the trick, thanks for all your help
Last question, in the group edit dialog in allows you to specify which mailbox the account will use for send/receive....only the inbox is selectable, any way to make other mail folder available that you know of?

Nope. Only the Inbox can receive mail for POP accounts. -- Brian Tillman |
