Configure 'reply' account in OL2003?

I have three email accounts: A, B, and C. I use a third-party spamfiltering
server which collects all three accounts onto its server, under one umbrella
account (A). Outlook then downloads the email from the spamfilter's server
to my PC.

The result is that I do get all the email that was sent to A, B, and C.
But, when I reply to an email sent to B or C, Outlook sends it from A (since
all the emails are now coming from one place, the spamfilter's server, under
the account A). If an email was sent to B, I'd like to have the reply come
from B as well.

How do I configure Outlook to use the email address the message was sent TO
as the reply address?

Thanks for any help.
 
When you setup multiple accounts in OL under one profile
you are able to choose which account a message goes out
under (regardless if reply, forward,etc...). Open a new
message and there should be a button on the toolbar that
says ACCOUNTS which has a drop down arrow.....this will
allow you to choose which account it goes out under.

Another cool feature is to send a message on behalf of one
of your accounts but before you send out the message click
the OPTIONS button and tell all replies to go to another
account....pretty slick....

Thanks for your reply, Randy.

I've been using the "Accounts" drop-down when replying to email sent to B or
C. But in the flurry of dozens of emails, I often hit 'reply' and then type
& send, before I realize I needed to change the account.

I'm hoping there's a way to configure Outlook so it sends from the account
the message was sent to, automatically.

Neat trick with having replies to go another account... :)
 
AH....I see...you want it to be an automatic
thing....Sorry, can't help you there! But sounds like it
should be setup that way anyway to me.... only sounds
logical, but as we know things just arent always setup the
way they should be! If you find the solution share?
