"send as" in Outlook 2000

[hoinvip]

Hello,

We run several businesses that sell the same product to differing consumer groups - one is retail, one is wholesale and one is internet only.

As a result we have 3 different domain names which receive email and our employees have to be able to reply AS fred@retail.com, fred@wholesale.com or fred@internet.com depending on the email they receive.

We have each mail domain hosted with our ISP with mail items forwarding to a central, underlying, domain which is picked up by Exchange 2000 on a win2k domain controller, with our users running Outlook 2000 on Windows 98 clients but we can't seem to work out a suitable way of achieving this...

Does anyone have any suggested solutions to help us do this please?

Many thanks,

Peter

Peter I am not 100% sure on your setup if this applies but in a typical network environment the Exchange administrator grants permissions to your Network ID to access any of the three mailboxes.

As long as the permission is granted on the Exchange server then in Outlook you can use the FROM: field, found under the VIEW menu, and enter the name of the mailbox that you want to display in the header of the e-mail message when it is received.

I have 8 different "accounts" I send from.

The key here is that each account must be setup for each user. The user information and Server information can be the same but different accounts need to exist.

You do this on the Tools menu > E-mail Accounts...
While you are setting up the account don't forget to go to the More Settings ... button on the account setup dialog box and enter an appropriate Organization and Reply E-mail address. That way replies get sent to the right address at your site automatically.

If you have set up multiple e-mail accounts in Microsoft Outlook, you can specify which account to use when sending a message. By default, e-mail is sent by using the account specified as the default in the E-Mail Accounts Wizard. For example, your default account may be your work e-mail account, but you can specify to send a message from another e-mail account, such as your personal Internet service provider (ISP) account.

In the message, click Accounts. (Right next to the Send Button on my System)
Click the account you want to use.

Hope this helps... The two rules for success are:
