I have 3 POP accounts and 1 IMAP account. One of my POP accounts is set to
be the default. However no matter what I do Outlook uses the IMAP account as the default. How do I correct this? |

... Outlook 2007. OK, now explain where you have the default settings configured. You can have a default account on ToolsAccount SettingsE-Mail Accounts and you can have a default delivery location on ToolsAccount SettingsData Files. The account that's chosen for the default will be the account that sends the message when it is a new message. However, when you reply, the account used to send the message will be the account that received the original message no matter which account is the default, unless you specifically choose the account with the Accounts button. Are you saying, then, that you have chosen a POP account as the default and that when you create a new message, it gets sent using the IMAP account? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

So all new mail gets sent on the imap account? Replies and forwards should
go out on the account that downloaded the message. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Let's Really Fix Outlook 2010 http://forums.slipstick.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 "Janice" wrote in message ...

All mail gets sent on the pop account that is the default (as long as I
remember to manually choose it). Replies from that account are then forwarded onto the imap account so that I can access them from home, work, mobile etc. I basically want the pop account to be the default for sending. Can I not do this? "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ... So all new mail gets sent on the imap account?

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" |

Replies from that account are then forwarded onto the imap account so that I can access them from home, work, mobile etc. This explains it, then. You receive all mail via the IMAP account, since you forward the mail received by the other accounts to the IMAP mailbox. Outlook never sees messages arriving from those POP accounts, only from the IMAP account, so all replies go back out through the IMAP account. Outlook doesn't care one whit to which address the original message was addressed. All it knows if what account was used to receive the message. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
