1 Outgoing server - 3 mail accounts

[giovanni.radilla]

Hello,

I am new to Outlook 2003 and I use it to access 3 different mail
accounts (1 exchange and 2 pop/smtp).

What I want to do is to send all my messages via the exchange server
(including replys to messages delivered to me via the pop servers).

For the moment, when I reply to a message delivered to me via the pop
accounts, the reply message is automatically associated to the
corresponding smtp server and I have to manually change the account
for the message to be sent by the exchange server.

I hope I made myself understood.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

girazu

That's standard operating procedure. Can you change the outgoing mail server
to your internal SMTP server? If memory serves me correctly the Exchange
server supports SMTP or handing mail off to an SMTP server.

Thank you for your prompt reply but I have to admit that
I don't understand your advice.

I configured 3 mail accounts in Outlook 2003 and the
problem is that I don't know how to set the outgoing
server for the pop/smtp accounts to be the exchange
server...

Well, find out what server is acting as an SMTP host in your environment.
Someone in IT would probably know, especially if they configured it. Take
that server name and use it as the outgoing mail server on the POP3
accounts.

Exchange can have an SMTP server running that connects to Exchange. It
provides SMTP access for users that don't want to or cannot use Exchange
for sending e-mails (I know Unix gurus hate Exchange and use the SMTP
connector in Exchange). You'll have to contact the IT folks at your to
see if they setup SMTP access to their Exchange server, and get the IP
name for that host. They'll know how they setup their e-mail
environment.

If this Exchange server is connected to the Internet and does Internet mail,
the SMTP service is installed and operational; it must be or the server
won't do Internet mail. In this case, all you should have to do is
substitute the name of the Exchange Server for the SMTP servers on your POP
accounts. As an example, I have a personal POP account setup on my work
machine. We actively block outgoing SMTP (Port 25) connections from any
internal machines but the Exchange Server at the firewall. To use my
personal account, I set the incoming server to the name of my personal ISP's
POP server, "mail.Comcast.net", but set the sending server to be our local
Exchange Server, "email.newsroom.local". The Exchange Server admin should
have the domain name of the Exchange Server.
