Different email addresses

[Mark Scott]

I have a domain name which allows me to set up email forwarding. I have
mail@ as my main address.

In Outlook 2003, how can I set it to reply to an email from the forwarded
account instead of my main account: ie if an email was sent to
job@mydomain, how can I get outlook to send the reply from job@mydomain
instead of mail@mydomain ?

Regards
Mark

Are you checking a single POP account, or multiple ones? If the former, you
can't reply as an alias you don't actually *have* as an Internet Mail
account in Outlook.

It was only a single account. Whats the best way to organise things? I
currently subscribe to mailing lists with their own address ie
microsoftlists@domain and then use rules to put the emails into a folder.

If that's working fine, great...but to send outbound mail as another
address, you have to have it set up as an e-mail account in Outlook. As in,
it can't be an alias - if your mail host is using wildcard aliasing/blank
forwards, you can't do what you want.

Sign up your real address to post from or create a fake account to use for
sending. Set the pop side to never check for new mail and choose it from
accounts when you send mail.
