Default Default account

All mail gets sent on the pop account that is the default (as long as I
remember to manually choose it).


If you have to manually choose the POP account then it's NOT set as the
default account.....


I shall clarify;

New mail gets sent on the default POP account without having to manually
choose it.

It's mail that I reply to that is the problem. The POP account that I have
as default is the email address that people use to send me emails. I have
them forwarded to my IMAP account so that I can access them anywhere. When
I reply I would like it to be sent via my POP account as that is the
address that they are used to. However Outlook wants to automatically send
them via the IMAP account.



If you reply to the message that you have received in your POP account then
Outlook will use that account to reply from. That is default behaviour of
Outlook and can't be changed AFAIK.
If you are saying that you are opening en email received in your POP
account, and when you then click on "Reply" Outlook is automatically using
the IMAP account to reply from, (are these two entirely different emails by
the way?) then I would suggest there is something you aren't telling us
about your mail setup. This just doesn't "happen"
