My outlook express collects the mail from both. When I use outlook to send email, I can only have either the business address/name in the from section, or the private. Is there away around this easily??

I don't follow? I have several accounts on various domains and I have multiple accounts each with different reply-to addresses for each account the sjwelectrical.co.uk domain. I could make them all the same or all individual, or a mixture of the two on a per account basis.

If you go into Tools, Accounts and select the account you want then set the reply-to and from address as required.

Or have I completely missed the point?

Within the Tools/Accounts/Properties you can set the name you want each address to show.
When creating an email you use the scroll down box in the 'From' field to use the email address you want it to go from.
Within Tools/Accounts/Properties you can set which email address you want as the default address that you use most often.
I have 19 email addresses in Outlook Express, including some hotmail ones, and each address is given a different 'from' name that is seen by those it is sent to.

I see what you mean now. There should be at the top of the new message screen several lines showing things such as the To: line, the From: line, the Reply-To: line, the Subject: line etc.... You should be able to click on a drop down list on one of these which will show you all the accounts you have and let you set one to send that mail from.

If you don't have the option for that, then I have no idea what you've done! Don't use Outlook myself, and am a bit rusty on OE from memory as I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird for quite a while now. Wink

Fill in the message as normal, but rather than just click send, click the options button first, and there is a drop down box in there with the different accounts. tested it, all works sweet as.

Ok I think this is how to do it.

Short answer

Tools -> Send/Recieve -> select the account to send/recieve.

Long Answer

Each account has to be set up with a different email address first.

Outlook -> Tools -> E-Mail Accounts -> View or change existing accounts -> Next.

Select account 1 -> Change Button -> Enter email address -> Next etc

Repeat for account 2 with second email address.

Then compose a message and hit send. It should sit in the outbox.

Then hit Tools -> Send/Recieve - and select the account to use to send it.
