Outlook 2000 with multiple email accounts 1

[SoupXVII]

I have three email accounts set up in Outlook. When I send email messages they all go through the account that I used first, even though I don't want them to. How can I:
1. make an account default, or
2. like in Outlook Express, specify the sender's address on-the-fly?

Thanks!

With Outlook, you can specify which account you want to have as the default, by going to Tools->Acounts then go to the Mail tab if your not already on it. Then click on the account you want as defaut, and then hit the button on the right hand side that says 'Set As Default'.

If you are using an account, and you want mails to be sent to a different account instead of the default sending account, start a new message and then to go View->Options and you will see Delivery Options where you can have replies sent to, by selecting the account/name you want.

Then if you have multiple accounts and you only want to send or receive from one, you can click on the accounts that you dont want to send/receive and click properties again on the right hand side, and then uncheck the option for 'Include this account when receiving mail or synchronising'.....

Pretty easy when you know how!! Jay~

But how do you set it up so that when I get email for all my accounts (I know I can move them to their own folders based on the To: address), when I reply it shows that it is coming from the correct address. Or do I have to do this manually? I am using Eudora for this now, but I would like to get away from it.
Thanks.

There should be an option in your options or fields, to show the 'From' filed when sending a mail, and when you have this field visible, like the To: and CC: field, then you can pull down the From field and select which email address you want to send from, but generally its the default account that sends first, and if a mail was sent to youraddress@domain.com you will reply with that address which it was sent to....

OK, I was wondering if putting the From: in would do it. Is there a way to assign an email address to a folder? So that anytime I reply to a message in "SALES" it says it is from "Sales@mydomain.com" or when I reply to something in "TECH SUPPORT" it says it is from "Support@mydomain.com" without having to remember to manually change from the default address?
Eudora does this, and I'm trying to figure out if Outlook offers the same feature, and I just can't figure it out. )
Thanks.

I've set up two accounts in my Outlook 2000. Strange, independently from default account setting Outlook always tries to send mail by using the same account. What could be the cause/resolution?
