Setting replies as a default other than to sender address, rather than manually?

S

Today is the last day of my contract, just out of curiousity, is there
a way to change the "reply to" as a default?

I'm going to try to remember at the end of the day when I send my last
emails from a place of work to friends and family, to each time go in
and change the "reply to" to my home email but I'd like to change it
"permanently" at that time to make it one less thing to have to think
about.

Can this be done?




[I'm not concerned with settings after that, as my account will be
de-activated so no worries if I forget to change it back. <g>]

It's easy with a POP/SMTP or IMAP/SMTP account. Look on the More Settings
option of the accout properties. For an Exchange account, however, it will
take an AD change.

Oh, well, of course!! It's Exchange ...

What does "AD change" means, pls?

Active Directory.

Okay. Sorry for delay but stopping a contract and starting another
one (I was darned lucky so late in the season to get one!), meant it's
taken me a bit of time to get organized, etc.

So, what does all this mean, pls? At work it's usu. always an
Exchange server, that much I think I can safely say.

When you say, "For an Exchange account, however, it will take an AD
(Active Directly) change.", does this mean it's do-able by the average
user? Computers are so locked up now with an inaccessible registry,
etc., that we often can't do things anymore.

Just wondering if this is something the average user can do, and, if
so, is there a recommended tutorial or something, somewhere, to follow
along to do this?

Thanks so much! :eek:D

No, the average user cannot make this change. Either the Exchange Admin or the Network Admin will need to do this.

<sigh> Why am I not surprised.

Ah well. It was worth a look.

Thanks! Much appreciated. :eek:D
