Outlook Uses Wrong Account

[Brent J]

Hi,

I have a problem with Outlook 2003. I have a number of POP3 e-mail account
which receive emails correctly, eg.

account1 (default)
account2
account3

When I send any emails however, all emails are sent with account3 no matter
which account I want to use.

If I delete account3, then Outlook uses account2 no matter what (ie. Outlook
just uses the last account in the accounts list whatever I choose).

Any ideas? I would like to use Outlook for all accounts, so deleting
accounts isn't really a solution.

Thanks

Brent

Hi.

I guess you're using Outlook 2003 aswell. I am having that exact same
problem!! It's so frustrating.

I am told that is does this if the account that you tell it to send from
doesn't work. Instead of displaying an error message it just sends it via
another available account.

However. I have tested all of my accounts using the 'Test Account Settings'
in the account setup window and they all work fine.

Please, someone, help???

The "Test Account Settings" button isn't a complete end-to-end test. You
can get success with that and still have a configuration problem.
