How make Outlook 2002 show a different FROM: address?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve my problem.
I'm using Outlook 2002.

Our small business has email with a specific personalized
domain hosted by an ISP. The ISP receives the emails
sent to addresses in the personalized domain name and
then forwards them all to one account that has the same
domain name as the ISP. I can then log into that one
account and get the email.

The problem I am having is that when I send email, the
FROM: field reads the email address with the ISP domain
name. I want it to instead give a different email
address, one with the personalized domain name.

I have been using Eudora for email in the past, and it
has a specific option called "Return Address" where I can
specify what address the email will say it is from. I
cannot find an equivalent feature in Outlook 2002.

If I go into the setup for the email account and change
the email account to one with the personalized domain
name, I cannot log into the ISP's server anymore (I can
only log in if the email account is sent to the one at
the ISP's domain).

I tried setting the reply email feature to an account
with the personalized domain, but that didn't change what
shows up in the FROM: field. I also tried setting up the
personalized domain as an email in a contract entry for
myself, and then using that contract entry in the FROM:
field, but that didn't work either (the mail says then
FROM: (e-mail address removed) on behalf of
(e-mail address removed))

Any suggestions on how I can make Outlook 2002 show a
different FROM: email address??

Thanks.
 
POP3 account? You can set any e-mail address in the User Information section
of the Account Setup.
