reply address - where is it set?
 

I have 3 active email addresses that I use. When I reply to an email I
receive, I noticed that in the reply window, the "From" email address
that appears is not always the one that the email I am replying was sent
to.

Where is my reply window's default "From" email set? It is not the
email account address I have set as the default.

Thanks.

Jeff

Additional info:
The email that appears in the reply window's "From" box seems to be the
first one listed in the accounts order. How do I change the order the
accounts are listed so that the email of the account I want to use is
the one that appears at the top and therefore is used as my default
reply email address.

(This is about the mail accounts, not the newlist accounts).

Additional info 2:
I found the filed in the account properties for "Reply address" and
changed it to the reply email address I want to use in my replies, but
that still did not work.

The Reply To address for messages you send is controlled by OE Tools
Accounts Mail [account] Properties General Reply Address.

However, if your three (3) addresses are aliases for one (1) mailbox, the
primary address may always be used.

Outlook Express always uses the same account for replies and forwards
that downloaded the message. The default account is used for new
messages.

If the multiple accounts are aliases for the same server POP3 account
(They have the same settings at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Servers for both Incoming POP3 server AND Incoming Account Name), then
any one of the accounts might download messages for any of the
addresses. To see which account downloaded a message, select the Inbox
folder, then View, Columns and add the ACCOUNT column.

If this is the case, and you would like the Default account to be used
for All replies, then there is an easy fix for this. At Tools,
Accounts, Mail, Properties General, Uncheck the Include this account for
All accounts Except the Default one. Then the default account will
download all the mail and will therefore be used for replies.

If the accounts are not aliases, then you do need to have the Include
this account checked for the non-alias accounts and will have to use the
FROM drop down box when composing to set the desired account for that
message.

Aliases were indeed my problem. 2 of the accounts were aliases and the
third one not.

Playing around with the different setting allowed me to change my
settings to work for me.

Thanks.
