I am using Outlook XP on Windows XP Pro

What I have is this... my Outlook is set up to download anything that is
sent to *anything*@mydomain.com. This way, I can customize my addresses
depending on what I use them for, and then always know where my spam and
viruses are coming from.

Lets say I have 2 friends, one uses the address me.abc@mydomain.com and one
uses me.xyz@mydomain.com. When they e-mail me and I reply, it replies through
my 1 default account, not their personalized ones. Is there any way to get it
so that the reply to address will ALWAYS be the address that I recieved the
mail through? I know this is possible if I add an account for each address,
but would rather not do this.

Thanks in advance

Don

If you have a catch all mailbox, outlook will always reply through the main
account that is used to download the message. You'll need to either create
accounts for each address you want to send from (set them to not download
mail) or type the address in the From field each time you send a message.
