I use outlook for work and personal email but i use two different
accounts to send/recive email. I have run into the problem of
sometimes mistakenly using my personal account to send work emails.

So my question is:

Is it possible to specify that addresses that meet a certain criteria
be send using a certain account. Say an email to (e-mail address removed) will be
sent using my gmail account whereas a email to (e-mail address removed) will be
sent using a yahoo account?

Any help/suggestions would really be appreciated!

Cheers

And my question is, what version of Outlook are you using? The answer is totally dependent on the version which you left out.

No, you can't control which accts are used for new messages. The acct that
received the mail should be used to send replies by default.

Hmmmm, well having it automatically reply using the address an email
was sent to seems to be working fine but I was hoping that for new
emails outlook could somehow refer to the address book with certain
criteria or a filter using certain criteria and send the email
accordingly.

unfortunately not in the currently available versions. The version that is
currently in development might offer it as it's a frequent request but we'll
have to wait a couple of years to find out.

Dear Gaiko,
you can realize the abovementioned situation.
There is a component Messages Autofill
http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/toolbox/message_autofill.html of the MS
Outlook add-in MAPILab Toolbox http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/toolbox/. The
component is able to automatically fill in To: From: CC: and BCC: fields of
an outgoing message.
For example, you can create two folders for your private and business
messages. A rule should be created in Message Autofill to fill in the From:
field with your private email address when you reply to messages in your
private mail folder and a second rule - to fill in with your business email
address when you reply from business message folder.
