hide address when sending emails

hi,
i have a different reply to email than the one i am sending emails from.

When sending emails, i want to hide or change the info that shows when i
send emails, e.g. From: XXXXX [mailto: (e-mail address removed)]. When the person
replies, of course he will see the reply to email address, which is fine.

i just want the recipient not see the email address when i send emails. Is
there a way?

thanks

Copy the string in the Reply-To field into the E-mail Address field,
then clear the Reply-To field. That is, specify your e-mail address is
the account to which you want replies to get sent, and don't specify a
Reply-To address at all. You can specify anything you want in the
E-mail address field (which becomes the From header).

hi, thanks, followed your advice:
looks like the following now:
User Information: Tom Tomson
email address: (e-mail address removed) (this is the reply to email)
server information.......
logon information:
User name: tomtomson
password: xxxxxx (this is to log on to the account i am sending from)

now my reply to field is empty and my outgoing server states:
use same settings as incoming server.

problem i now have is that i can receive messages but when sending outlook
tells me "sender address does not belong to logged in user".

any ideas?
thanks

Don't use the same settings for POP as you do for SMTP. Specify the
login credentials for the SMTP host to which you connect. For example,
I have an e-mail account defined in Outlook for a freebie Yahoo Mail
account. I received from Yahoo to get my e-mails. However, I do not
send through Yahoo Mail because they spamify all outgoing e-mails
through a freebie account by adding their promo signature. So I specify
to use my ISP's SMTP mail host in that e-mail account defined in
Outlook. POP goes to YahooPOPs to yank from Yahoo, and SMTP goes to my
ISP's mail host. That means I need to specify different login
credentials for each.
