How do I specify an alternate reply to email address

[Beachman]

I have an Outlook email account set up to receive email from an ISP that does
not provide SMTP support, so I have to send mail via an unrelated SMTP
server. I think I now have the Outlook account set up properly to do this,
but when a msg recipient replies to my messages, his reply is addressed to my
SMTP email address and not the address of my receiving pop server.

Isn't there a way to specify an alternative reply to email address that will
be automatically picked up when a recipiant clicks reply to my msgs?

Thx for your help.

The dialog where you set up the email account has an option for setting the reply address.

"Sue, my account setup is a little unusual since I am receiving from a pop
server that has no related SMTP capability. There for I have to send from an
entirely unrelated SMTP server. This SMTP server is also secure, requiring
authentication, so I have had to set both the "Email Address" field under
"User Info" on the first Outlook email acct setup page to the same address as
the "Log on using" user name on the "Outgoing Server" more settings page to
get the SMTP server to accept my outgoing email. It does not work if I put
the pop email address in the Email Address field on the first page.

I do not see any other place to set an alternate reply-to address. Am I
missing something?

Maybe the best I can do is to set the SMTP email account to forward all
incoming mail to the Outlook receiving pop server account.

I appreciate your help. I've never encountered a situation where I had to
receive mail from one ISP and send from another.

That's not what I was suggesting. If you click the More Settings button on the account settings dialog, you should see where to enter the reply-to address.
