If I pick any other account from the drop-down list, it tells me that it will be sent using that account, then promptly ignores it. Of course, if I pick the “unwanted” address from the “accounts” drop-down, it will pick a different address. However, if I do an Address Book lookup, it will *not* use the default account, but one of the other three. Here’s what I’ve isolated: if I type the recipient’s email address out completely (or use the Autocomplete to pick from recently used addresses), everything works fine. All 4 are set up identically (other than the email address, obviously), and all 4 pass the “test account settings” with no problems. First, I have 4 email accounts through the same ISP, one of which is the default account. I’m having the same problem with Outlook 2003, although I’ve isolated it to a specific situation. As far as I can tell, I have all the accounts in Outlook set up appropriately and all the right checkboxes selected (otherwise I would just fix them, right?). The even weirder part is that the sent messages show having been sent with the wrong account (at least when I open up the sent message – I have the From field on my list of items to see in the outbox, but that is blank!!), but if I log onto that account directly (gmail in this case) the messages never show up as being sent via that account. So, there is something screwy going on with Outlook upon accessing my address book (contact list). However, if I choose the address from the address book (or type in the person’s name so that Outlook automatically looks for the email address), Outlook will use another email account, despite me telling it to use the default. If I type an email address into the To field (rather than picking it from my address book), the email works as it should, sending from the default account.
And I have it set to reply/forward with whatever account the original message was sent. I have my default address that I use for most things. I use 4 different accounts on Outlook XP/2002. Okay, so riddle me this! I’ve read all the comments and they are all similar to my problem, however, I’ve found an interesting link to my problem, but not yet the solution. Wrong account, check your ability to send via the right account. So the lesson here is simple: if Outlook suddenly starts sending using the Needless to say it was not obvious, and very frustrating.
