Want to use multiple sender accounts with one mailbox

I am trying to find a way to use multiple email identities to sent mail from one account.

To be more specific, I have about half a dozen email addresses with I use with Outlook 2002. (Mine, my wife's, a shared address, two webmaster accounts.) All of these addresses are forwarded to my ISP email address and go into one inbox.

Using the From field is only partially effective, it does not change the reply-to address.

What I want to do it place a listbox, or failing that a button leading to a dialog, on the toolbar that will let me pick which address I want to use, and it will change the From Address, Reply-To Address, perhaps the Signature Block, etc. It would default to one account each time Outlook starts up.

I've tried, but can't seem to get started on a macro to do this.

Can anybody help me gat a running start on this?



Thanks, Rob

I'd skip the code (which would be difficult if not impossible) and create an individual account in Outlook for each outgoing address that you want to use. Set them up in a send/receive group so that they only send, never receive. You should then be able to choose the desired account from the Accounts button on the toolbar.
