Outlook Connector issue

[evanr4]

Hello,

I am using Outlook 2007 with the latest version of Outlook Connector (versio
14). I have both my business account (Exchange based) and personal accoun
(Hotmail) setup in Outlook. I am getting some wierd results when I reply t
email messages in my Hotmail. Sometimes the reply will be sent from Hotmail an
sometimes from my Exchange account. I cannot see any consistency in this. I kno
I can use Outlook to choose whcih mail service to send from, but I canno
understand the inconsistency.

I want all replies and new emails from Hotmail to be sent via Hotmail fo
obvious reasons.

Thanks
Evan

Ok, I have made some progress. It would seem that all email that was in m
Hotmail prior to installing the Outlook Connector and downloading to Outloo
uses Exchange when I click on Reply, all email received after the Connector wa
installed will use Hotmail when I reply.

So 2 questions remain, how do I get my older email to use Hotmail when I repl
instead of Exchange? How do I get new email to default to using Hotmail when
send?

I cannot change the default mail account in Outlook, as this would mess up m
business email.
