I have several IMAP mailboxes, with an Inbox folder under each.

When I click on a given Inbox, and click New email, I want the email to be
addressed FROM that mailbox (of course). Outlook addresses it from one of
the other mailboxes (the default, I would guess).

Does anyone know a way around this?

The only way around it is for you to choose the account with the Accounts
drop-down.

Yep, that works. But I don't want to have to do, or remember to do that
every time. Email is going to get all mixed up in different boxes. What a
shame. Guess I'll have to go back to my web interface again.

Surely your brain is trainable enough that after only a few mistakes that it
will remember. Mine was.

You know, that sounds reasonable for most of the emails. But to have to do
that for every email, I'll probably miss one here and there. And then I will
have email sent from the wrong company (that is not good).

To not have the from-address match the account I'm sending from is absurd.
I can't imaging what MS was thinging there (or not thinking, I guess).

Thanks for the dialoge, Brian.

I think I'm going to look into writing a macro for this, since this is
important to me. Despite some of the lockups, and quirks, I have always
loved Outlook. So I don't want to give that up. And now that I'm using
IMAP, rather than POP3, I get the best of both worlds (can use both
interfaces).
