Hi,

Because of the way my ISP sets up email - I have to use my
personal email account as the default email in Outlook.

I do a lot of email merges for my business and these
really need to be sent through my other email account (my
business address). Is there a way to do this?

You will need to have an account with your ISP and be logged on as that
account to do it.

Thanks for the answer - I wish it was the answer I was
hoping for! Looks like I'm going to have to do some
changes to my ISP email address to make it appear kinda
similar to the business email address, and have replies
sent to the business address. I wish that MS would
address this in an upcoming version of Office. I really
don't want to start using ACT again.

E-Mail typically uses two servers - a POP server to receive and an SMTP
server to send.

Most ISPs will allow you to receive mail from any POP server, but will only
allow you to use their own SMTP server to send mail. This will be the server
detailed in the ISPs default account properties.

However, you can setup the ISP's SMTP server against any or all of your
accounts. The messages will appear to the recipients to come from the
required account. Thus you should be able to setup *any* account as default
and/or reply to any mail received on any account.
