Outlook 2007, how to stop accidental replies from a certain folder?

H

I have my college's email account auto-forwarded (they don't offer pop
or imap) to my main gmail account so I don't have to go to thei
website to check for mail. That gmail account, and others, use pop
down to my Outlook 2007. In my Outlook, I have a rule that puts mai
sent to my @college address into a folder named Collegemail.

Since the college email system lacks pop3 or imap, I have to go t
their site to send a reply, so that the reply will be sent from m
@college email address. The problem is that since I don't get very man
emails to that address, I cannot seem to get into the habit of going t
my college's website to make those replies. So quite often
absent-mindedly make the replies while in Outlook, which means m
replies are sent "from" the @gmail address that the @college email
were forwarded to.

I'm hoping there's a solution. Can I set up Outlook to either 1
disable replying to emails in the Collegemail folder or to emails wher
my college email address is in the original To: line, or else 2) set i
to send those replies from a non-functional dummy account? The dumm
account would be unable to send the email so the email would be stuc
in the Outbox. (I already have the non-functional dummy account set u
as Outlook's "Default" account. When I compose a new mail I have t
deliberately pick one of my good accounts to send the new mail with, o
else Outlook uses the default dummy account and the email stays in th
Outbox with a Send error.)

Thanks
