Microsoft Outlook Question

1984ReturnsForReal_2

Hi guys.


I have 2 work email address & both will receive & send on Outlook, so the accounts are set up fine. Its an XP machine.

I now want to add a personal email address which has been set up with the provider but I cant work out how to add this & the other addresses to a drop down account box when you generate a new email.

When a new email is set up there is no "send from account" option.

My wife is using outlook express on a Vista machine & has a few email addresses & this provides a drop down option to choose which account to send from.

Any ideas?

Make sure the Standard toolbar is visible when composing a new message (right click in the toolbar area to turn toolbars on and off), you should have an "Accounts" drop down, just select from there...

Tried that.

What I am trying to achieve is like what my wifes' displays when composing a message:

I have 3 headers:

1) To...
2) Cc..
3) Subject:

Wife has 4 headers

1) From
2) To..
3) Cc..
4) Subject



1) From is a drop down box in the email compose window that spans the whole width of the page with available accounts to send from.


Thats what I am trying to achieve.

Well the accounts drop down is the best for this.

However you can display the "From header" too if you wish, from the View menu > select From Field when composing a message.

Only "message header" & "Bcc Field" display when I click view.

Any ideas?
