Outlook Connector & 2003 -using second email address in "From" fie

[phlukanad]

I have configured my Hotmail live account to send and receive email from a
second email account and set this second account as the default send/recieve
address. this works fine in the browser version but I cannot get it to
function using Outlook 2003 client and the Outlook connector.

I can set the "From:" address in the Outlook client but the receiver sees my
original hotmail address, not the second address. I could setup a second
email account within the outlook client pointing to the second POP DNS etc
but that way the mail will relay through that POP and I want it all to go
thru Hotmail so all my sent items are in one location.
I have replicated this on other PC's too.
Any ideas?

Tx.

The Outlook Connector doesn't support alternate email addresses.
You can indeed also set up an additional POP3 account with the address that
you want to use instead. When you have the storage location of the Outlook
Connector account set as the default, the Sent Items of that POP3 account
will be stored in the Sent Items folder of the Outlook Connector's storage
location. Otherwise, you can change your default storage location, redirect
it on a per-message basis, via a rule or move them manually.
