Resonding from e-mail address to which message was sent

S

Hello,

This is in regard to the default e-mail address. I have several e-mail
accounts (POP) downloading to Entourage. When I respond to any message
sent to any of these accounts, it is always from my default e-mail
address (opposed to the address to which the message was sent).

Can I set this up such that the account from which I respond is
identical to the account to which the message I am responding to was
sent?

I tried messing with "Rules", but was not successful.

Thank you!

There is a setting in the preferences to always reply using the default
account. Make sure that is unchecked. That will solve the problem if all the
accounts are downloading separately. If you have some accounts being
re-directed so they arrive using a different account to the 'to' address
(for example, I have some domains where the mail is redirected to my mac.com
address, so it is received using mac.com, but I want to send using account
xyz.com). To get round this problem I use a script that sets the account
according to the category of the recipient's entry in my address book. Paul
