Thanks to Michael Santovec.
Sadly, your proposal to bundle all mails into one account is of no use to
me, I might as well use only one mail address.
My wish is the exact opposite : each of the mail addresses should be treated
separately exept that they use the same POP3-account.

OE uses the same account for replies and forwards that was used to
download the original message. If you add the Accounts column to the
Inbox, you'll be able to see which account downloaded each message.

If you have multiple OE accounts pointing to the same server POP3 account
(same values at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers, POP3 Server
name and Account name) then any of these alias accounts could download all
the messages (or even some in one and some in another). OE doesn't check
the TO e-mail address.

In that case, I would uncheck the Include this account when checking mail
(Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, General) for all of the alias accounts
Except the default one. That way the default account will do all the
downloading and will be the one that comes up for replies. You'll have to
manually select an alternate account in the FROM drop down box if you
want. But at least you'll have consistency.

Why does OE6 use the wrong account when I press the 'reply' button.
To facilitate my local administration I use 3 different e-mail addresses,
and when I answer a mail, I (of course)want the sender to see it as
coming from the address to which he sent the original mail.
But, when I receive a mail to address #1 and press the 'reply' button,
OE6 invariably uses address #3 as 'sender', even though the default
account is defined as address #1.
Can anyone help ?
