need rule for contact category

[A Toczko]

Hello. I am using Outlook with two email addresses, one for personal use,
and the other for business use. Is there a way to ensure that when creating
a new email, if the recepient is in the 'business' category, my business
email address would be used? My personal address is set as the default
address. I don't want to go to two profiles, as I need to keep one calendar
and task list, which shows both personal and business events. Thanks.

Assuming you mean mail account, not address, selection of an alternate
account is done on a per message basis, not a per Contact or per Category
basis.

To clarify, I have two email addresses set up in Outlook. When I start to
compose a new email message, by default, it will be sent using my default
email address. I have some contacts assigned to a category named
'business', whom I choose to communication with using my second email
address. I must manually change each new email message to be sent using the
second email address (not the default email address) when I am composing it.
Can this process be automated? Thanks.
