MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007How do I change the FROM?
I can change the CC and the TO and the BCC. I do not know how to change the FROM? Are you using multiple POP3 (Internet) mail accounts or are you using an Exchange Server? Also, which version of Outlook are you using? >I can change the CC and the TO and the BCC. I do not know how to change >the > FROM? I have one exchange account and one POP3 account. All outgoing mail is routed through my exchange server. I want to set up a different default signature for each account. > Are you using multiple POP3 (Internet) mail accounts or are you using an > Exchange Server?

You choose the account with the Accounts button, not with the From field. The From field is used by delegates of others' mailboxes to choose which Exchange mailbox is being used. It is not used to select between Exchange and POP accounts.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Does this work differently in Outlook Express? I thought you could simply change the FROM by selecting a different identity in the pulldown. > > I have one exchange account and one POP3 account.

However, if you're using an Exchange account you cannot be using Outlook Express, since Outlook Express has no support for Exchange accounts. And if you are using Outlook Express, you're in the wrong newsgroup. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Ouch, Brian. That hurts. I'm just trying to replicate functionality. To simplify the question, I just mentioned one exchange account and one POP3 account. I seriously have dozens of POP3 accounts that I have to manage continuously. All POP3 accounts use Exchange to send mail. If I have a message that comes to one of my POP3 accounts and need to reply to it, I would like Signature A to be the default. If I have a message that comes to a different POP3 account and need to reply to it, I would like Signature B to be the default. This is easily accomodated in Outlook Express. How do I do it in Outlook? I have licenses to Office XP and Office 2003 and Office 2007. I'll pick any version you recommend. Please think "out of the box". Is there an Outlook "solution"?

Per-account signatures can be set up on Tools>Options>Mail Format for OL 2003 and, while I'm not at my OL 2007 system right now so I can verify, I think it's in the same place. You MUST, however, set up a default signature for EVERY account, even if it's nothing more than a single space character. OL 2002 and earlier don't have per-account signatures.

Configure whatever you want to use in the E-mail Address and E-mail Name in whatever accounts you have defined in Outlook. |
