Are you using Outlook or Outlook express? They are two different beasts

Accessing a different email account to send an email is easy to do in both email clients.

Outlook Express:
After you click on 'Create Mail' and the window opens up, click on the arrow at the end of the 'From' line and you should get a drop down list showing all the email accounts you have set up under Outlook Express. Select the one you want. To stop having to do this each time go to Tools/Accounts/Mail/Click on the one you wish to use as your default address and then click on 'Set As Default'. This address will then be the account that all your email is automatically sent from unless you either change it manually or set it up automatically as above.

Outlook:

After you click on 'New' and the window opens up, click on "From' and you should get a drop down list showing all the email accounts you have set up under Outlook. Select the one you want. To stop having to do this each time go to Tools/Options/Mail Setup/View or Change Existing Email Accounts..follow the prompts. Select the one you wish to use as your default address. This address will then be the account that all your email is automatically sent from unless you either change it manually or set it up automatically as above.
 
I'd like to add one thing: Poke around in your gmail web access to see if
they have special steps you need to take in order to POP the email account.
Not all web-based web systems make it easy to use a mail client to access
email.
