My email address no longer populates the From field automatically

[Craig]

My email address used to always automatically populate the From field when I
created a new email or sent a reply. For some reason it comes up blank now,
but it's populated when the other party gets it. Anyone know how to get the
default back to automatically populating my email address?

In office 2007 you can't see from field in the mail itself but if you have
more than one account setup then you can select the account to use from the
drop down box on the right corner of the window.

You can display bcc or cc if you want but I don't you are asking about this.

How many email accounts have you setup in Outlook?

The From field is only used with Exchange accounts when sending from an
alternate mailbox. You don't need it using POP or IMAP.
