Outlook 2003 sends email from wrong account

[Wimpie van Lingen]

Hi

I have multiple pop3 email accounts set up in Outlook 2003.
When I send emails, Outlook is VERY unpredictable. I never know which
account will be used to send the email until I've send it. I specified
which account to use, I even removed some the "Sending" of other accounts in
the Send and Receive group... you name it.

And it happens at random. Sometimes it sends through the correct account,
sometimes it follows his own mind.

I'm using Outlook 2003 with SP1 installed (Using Microsoft Update)

There is an issue with OL 2003 whereby when it has trouble sending through
the specified account, it will choose another. SP2 will be out soon to
address that issue by giving an error instead of choosing another account.
The real issue, though, is why your accounts are failing. Discover that and
you'll solve the problem without the SP.

Hi

As I said. It is random. All the accounts that I've got set up are from the
same server, domain, etc.
I've got three accounts set up: (e-mail address removed), (e-mail address removed), and
(e-mail address removed). The first two mailboxes are shared between me and other
people. The last one is my private mailbox.
If I tried sending an email through one of the first two and it failed, that
I can understand... because someone else might be accessing the mailbox.
But the problem is that when I try and send private email... it goes through
the business mailbox. And only I have access to that mailbox.
I've downloaded a couple of other Email clients and they all work fine....
But they don't work as nice as Outlook.

Any idea when the next service pack will be out?
