two problems

1. I have recently migrated by primary e-mail files from
a Windows 98/Outlook 2000 machine to a Windows XP/Outlook
2002 machine. One of the subtle difference between
Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002 would appear to be that
Outlook 2000 permitted me to specify that all replies to
e-mails would be made using a particular e-mail account
(whatever e-mail account received the particular e-mail
in question) whereas Outlook 2002 seems to default to
using the e-mail account that received the e-mail being
responded to. Is there a way to specify that all replies
to e-mails will be sent from a particular e-mail account
(e.g., btopenworld) irrespective of which e-mail account
(compuserve, BT, Yahoo, etc) actually received the e-mail?

I have tried putting the btconnect info into the outbound
server info in the compuserve e-mail account but that
doesn't seem to do the trick.

2. The second problem is that I have trouble recovering
information from my archive files. My business partner
says that he understand that any pst file over 2 megs
gets locked and can't be opened. Is this true? Some of my
outlook folders would appear to contain 40 megs+. As a
result, I have switched off all auto-archiving.

Regards,

Robert

I don't have anymore OL2002 machines to test on. What happened when you
when you put the btconnect info into the outbound server info of Compuserve?

..PST files are limited to 2gigs, not 2 megs. They start to get fairly
unstable as they approach that limit. What kind of trouble are you having
in accessing them?
