Can't add the "from" field to an email in XP

[pd]

Hello there. This has happened on Outl0ok Xp with Service
Pack 2 and 3. This is a work pc. I have my own laptop
which has a built-in toolbar when you open an email that
has an "options" button with 3 periods next to it with a
drop-down arrow to the right of the periods. All 3 of
those together make up one button. When I click the drop-
down arrow I can select the "To" field to show up in the
email. So I can turn it on and off. Simple enough you
say? I have other pc's at work that have an options
button on the built-in toolbar with 3 periods to the
right of it but no drop-down arrow. After doing a little
digging I found that you could add the options button
that didn't have the drop-down arrow to any toolbar. I
searched through all categories and toolbars but could
not find the options button with the drop-down arrow that
would allow me to select the "From" field for my emails.
These are all work machines with XP office professional.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Each version and each email editor has this option in a different place.
You need to post both your version and the editor you are using for anyone
to answer.
Just curious. What do you think the From field will accomplish?

Well, people at work have more than one mailbox added to their clients. So, when they go to send an email it is automatically sent from the end user who is logged into Outlook. They want to have the choice of sending from one of the additional mailboxes. I will get that version and editor info and get back. Thanks
