Addingfrom field with drop down list to message

[Neil Butler]

In outlook express on an outgoing message I saw a "from" field with a drop
down list so that I could choose which email domain to use to send the
message. Having converted to outlook 2000 the from field does not appear in
new messages. Is there an easy way to add this in?

I have looked at designing a new form and can add the from field and
associated text box but can I add the drop down list with my various email
addresses to choose between?

I realise I can use the optionsmenu to change which email address I send
from but this is a pain each time!

No. Outlook doesn't support that and you can't add it.

OL2002 has an Accounts toolbar button to quickly select which account to use
for sending outbound mails. OL2000 is way too long ago for me to remember
how the user switches sending accounts.
