how to automate specifying the account to use when sending mail? admaybhate 15.09.2006 02:49:07 I am using MS Outlook 2003 with my company email as default account. I am also using my gmail/hotmail and other accocunts to both send and receive. With this, Is the following possible: Everytime I write to my boss/colleagues, Outlook should use AUTOMATICALLY use the default mail account to send; which it DOES. But everytime i write to a friend, it should automatically use gmail/hotmail account to send that mail. why do i have to manually choose everytime the account from which to send? it feels stupid. is there a way out?

Re: how to automate specifying the account to use when sending mai admaybhate 15.09.2006 11:23:02 yes..sure!! I made a mistake of expecting flexibility from Microsoft! but thanks for your reply. at least it stops my search for a solution! ...hopefully this will be done sometime.. simply making the account to be used as a part of a "rule". admaybhate "Diane Poremsky" wrote: [Quoted Text] > you need to change the account - there isn't a way to tell outlook that if > sending the friend, use other account. > > -- > Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] > Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours > Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) > Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ > Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ > > "admaybhate" <admaybhate[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:2CC8B8AE-1A29-4031-91CC-240ABD70D189[ at ]microsoft.com... > >I am using MS Outlook 2003 with my company email as default account. > > I am also using my gmail/hotmail and other accocunts to both send and > > receive. > > > > With this, Is the following possible: > > > > Everytime I write to my boss/colleagues, Outlook should use AUTOMATICALLY > > use the default mail account to send; which it DOES. > > > > But everytime i write to a friend, it should automatically use > > gmail/hotmail > > account to send that mail. > > > > why do i have to manually choose everytime the account from which to send? > > it feels stupid. is there a way out? > > >

Re: how to automate specifying the account to use when sending mai "Dan Pascal" <tudor_s_liviu[ at ]yahoo.com> 18.09.2006 10:49:16 Well actually there is a solution. You can use an add-in for MS Outlook called Bells & Whistles. You can define some special rules in this add-in (e.g. if you send an email to a friend, use other account).
