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"

The POP(Virgin) account is set to automatically forward all emails onto
the IMAP account so the email will be opened within the IMAP(Gmail)
account and not from the POP account. If I use GMail web interface I can
set it to reply to emails using the account it was sent to originally. I
would have liked Outlook to do the same.


Well it won't will it, because the email has been received by the IMAP
(GMail) account.
Outlook will ONLY, AUTOMATICALLY, send a reply through the account that the
email has been RECEIVED BY OUTLOOK in.
No email client that I can think of will AUTOMATICALLY send a reply via an
account that a) does not exist in the email client and b)is not the
originating account
