Default Reply goes from different acct than received

Are accounts 1 and 2 on the same domain? Are they all POP3 accounts?

Here is an idea, but it may not be your problem.

My wife an I have Outlook configured to 3 accounts at home:
, , and . They all
actually receive messages through the same POP3 account; we only set it up
that way so we can send from the three different addresses.

In Options | Mail Setup | Send/Receive..., when I click "Edit...", I have
set only one of the accounts to "Receive mail items." Otherwise, all three
accounts would be pulling from the POP server. Replies would be based on
which account actually pulled that message. So, if someone sent a message to
, but the account pulled the message, the
reply would seem to be from Alice.

Anyway, this is only your solution if your accounts 1 and 2 are actually
pulling from the same POP account, so it very well may not apply to your
situation. If this is not helpful, please post more details about the
accounts you are using (not personal information, obviously, but details
about the types of accounts, etc) and I'm rather sure someone here will be
able to help.

One of my users is having this rather strange problem. She has 3 email
accounts configured in Outlook with different email addresses (from 2
domains). Sometimes (not all the time) when she replies to a message that
was sent to 'account1' (her default acct as well) the message will show it
will be sent from 'account2'. She has to (when remembered - we don't
remember all the time) change the account before sending. It only does it
some of the time. I'm certain it's doing it because I checked the email
header - it shows being sent to account1.

I've searched for this and I see occasional references to this problem, but
there is no resolution that I've found yet.

Ideas are welcome.

Mike.
