Outlook Accounts Running Amuck

[Dean Pennington]

I have about 11 e-mail accounts installed under Outlook 2003. Just one of
them is defined as default, and I haven't been changing around what is the
default. I have an intermittent situation when one of the other 10 e-mail
accounts is picked (because I don't see it until too late) and used in a new
e-mail or in an e-mail reply or forward. It's NOT me doing the picking, I''m
creating/sending all along expecting to have my default used always. In the
case of a reply there is no relation to which one was used in the incoming
mail to me and the other one slipping in for the reply. It makes no sense,
and it's intermittent. Unless there's something basic I'm overlooking this is
a bug, and I couldn't find anything on this line in the Knnowledge Base. Also
I've done the repair function and installed all updates I know of. I just
don't see a relationship, it's not the next account down the list being used.

BCM doesn't control Outlook's email features.

You should try your question in microsoft.public.outlook.

are you properly authenticating on the account it's supposed to use? If not,
outlook will send the message on the first account with a SMTP server that
accepts it.
