Board index » Outlook » Replying to incoming emails

Outlook539
I have two email addresses. Most of my mail uses only one of them but when I

reply to these my second email address automatically appears in the 'From'

area. Why is this?



My settings for my Mail Account are:



pop3.uk.worldonline.com (this is for my default account)

and

pop3.uk.worldonline.com (1)



Any advice welcomed.

OE automatically chooses to reply from the account that received the

message. You can click the From field to change it.

This doesn't seem to be the case.

For example, I receive an email addressed to me as

mpickup@colyford.screaming.net, this is my principal email address. If I

Reply Group or Reply or Forward, my From address appears as

colyford@colyford.screaming.net. If I receive an email addressed to me as

apickup@colyford.screaming.net I still get the From address in my Reply

showing as colyford@colyford.screaming.net. I set up the apickup address

just now as a test.



Does this mean that if OE automatically chooses to reply from the account

that received the message that all my incoming mails are being received by

my colyford@colyford.screaming.net address although the actual emails show

the address as mpickup@colyford.screaming.net?



Grateful for your comments.

Mike

Have solved the problem by removing the colyford@colyford.screaming.net

address and then adding it back again.

It's weird why this sort of approach works in so many computer problems.

Thanks for your interest.

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main

Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity

(File>Identities>Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages

from the old Identity before deleting it (File>Identities>Manage

Identities).

If the 2 e-mail addresses are the same server mail box (same settings at Tools, Accounts,

Mail, Properties, Servers for POP3 server and Account Name), then either OE account might

download all the messages. For Replies and forwards OE will use the account that

downloaded the messages. By deleting and adding the account back, OE may have changed

which one downloads the messages.
