Wrong from address
I have several IMAP mailboxes, with an Inbox folder under each.
When I click on a given Inbox, and click New email, I want the email to be addressed FROM that mailbox (of course). Outlook addresses it from one of the other mailboxes (the default, I would guess). Does anyone know a way around this? |

The only way around it is for you to choose the account with the Accounts drop-down. -- Brian Tillman |

Yep, that works. But I don't want to have to do, or remember to do that
every time. Email is going to get all mixed up in different boxes. What a shame. Guess I'll have to go back to my web interface again. "Brian Tillman" wrote: choose the account with the Accounts drop-down |

You know, that sounds reasonable for most of the emails. But to have to do
that for every email, I'll probably miss one here and there. And then I will have email sent from the wrong company (that is not good). To not have the from-address match the account I'm sending from is absurd. I can't imaging what MS was thinging there (or not thinking, I guess). "Brian Tillman" wrote: John wrote: Yep, that works.

Thanks for the dialoge, Brian.
I think I'm going to look into writing a macro for this, since this is important to me. Despite some of the lockups, and quirks, I have always loved Outlook. So I don't want to give that up. And now that I'm using IMAP, rather than POP3, I get the best of both worlds (can use both interfaces). |

A good place for that is at http://www.outlookcode.com/ . In fact, there may be something already there that may help do what you need. -- Brian Tillman |
