Set which local email account can send mail to contacts in address book. (associating an email address with a contact)
 
I use Outlook 2k3 with 3 separate email addresses configured to send
and receive email.

Is there a way when I create a new contact in my address book (and to
go back and assign to old contacts) which email address will be used to
send that person email?

For example I want to send email to Thomas at company X if i hit new
message button and pick his name out of the address book is there a way
have outlook automatically default to which email address I have
assigned to his contact information?


I am afraid that I will send email from the wrong account.

Also using different identities is not parctical because I don't want
to spend all day switching between them checking for new messages.

I don't think so. Outlook doesn't have anything built in to do this, to the
best of my knowlege.

Would there be any way for a custom add-on to beable to handle that?

Or would it be possible with a piece of CRM Software like ACT?

Possibly, but I don't know of one. You might search google or
www.slipstick.com.

Can't say....sorry. I try to avoid ACT.
