This is a discussion about Mutiple email accounts under Outlook 2K in the Windows Software category; Is there a way that I can have two pop3 email addresses setup in Outlook 2k SR1 so that when I make a new message and hit send I asks me whitch address to send on. Currently I have to toggle the default mail account back and forth between the two addresses.

This seems like a simple enough thing to be able to do and I think I have even seen I done on a friends comp but I can remember how to do it.

Just go to TOOLS / ACCOUNTS / MAIL / ADD / MAIL... and add a new email account. One has to be default. Outlook 2k will automatically checkk all email acounts but only send through your default ... well, it'll send through different account when you reply from your non-default (or select when writing new message).

OP
unfortunatly that is not a solution for my problem because I don't really have any pop3 email accounts. I receive all my mail through hotmail which i have several aliases forward to and then i just bounce all my out going mail off of the my isp's mail server. the reson that I don't have an pop3 email from them is cause i don't actually pay them for service. I made myself a photocopy of the connection info for my moms multi user account from a place she used to work at and i have been connecting for free ever since. Anyway i have hotmail account incomeing and 2 pop3s set up for outgoing. What i want the thing to do is ask me what account to send on when i hit the send button.
