FROM address with multiple accounts wrong

[Kayda]

Hi:

I have the following email accounts setup in Outlook:

(e-mail address removed) (set as default account)
(e-mail address removed)
(e-mail address removed)

Everything is POP/SMTP. I select different accounts to send. Here is the
behaviour:

If I send an email to anyone it always goes out as coming from
(e-mail address removed) , regardless of what email I chose to send from. (yes, I've
checked the email settings in Outlook, all email addresses are correct--I
even tried setting a reply address as well--no joy). So all my replies come
back to (e-mail address removed). Weird thing is--I can only get the FROM address
to show up as (e-mail address removed) or (e-mail address removed) if I send an email to
a mydomain.com user account from those accounts.

This used to work fine, recently I made a bunch of changes though:

1. I changed the company that hosts mydomain.
2. I installed Win 2003 server on this machine, and Outlook 2003 was
reinstalled, and email accounts created anew.

Any idea what could be going on? The weird behaviour I describe above tells
me it must have something to do with the company hosting the domain. But
what would they know about (e-mail address removed) ? Weird.

Thanks,
Kayda

There is an issue with Outlook 2003 that if it can't send mail via the
chosen account because it can't authenticate to the outgoing server, then it
will choose another account with which to send the message. The solution is
to make sure Outlook can authenticate to the outgoing server of the account
chosen to send the message.

I am having the same problem. All mail is sent via the default account. I
am able to authenticate on each server because if I change the default
account then all messages will be sent from the new default account, no
matter which account I select to send the message. I will try and set up
different profiles and .pst files to try a workaround.
