I have two email address - one a business one from a company I work for on a part time consultancy basis and another personal from a different service provider.

How do I choose which address appears in the "From" field on my sent emails?

I have Outlook 2000 on XP

Click on "new message"

Then just above the "To" box there is a button called "Accounts" with a down arrow on it.

Click that and you should get a list of all of your accounts.

Hope that helps

Mike

Next to the "send" button, you should have an "accounts" button. Use that to select which one you're sending from...

Thanks for the reply - I don't have an account for the Business address in Outlook as any messages to the business account get forwarded straight to my private account so neither Stevebub's or Mike's suggestions seem to work.

Maybe I will have to set up a separate account - at the moment am testing "Options" in new message and "Have replies sent to" and inserting business address there. Nope that didn't work either.
