Hello,

I have several email accounts configured on my windows mail on my Vista home premium and one of them is configured as the default email.

When I reply to emails received on email accounts other than the default email the "from" email address does not change to the email address of the received account.

I understand that the email address in the "from' field when I start a "new" message or create mail is that of the configured default email. My question is while replying to an email received in other configured accounts should not the "from" field email id change from the default email id to the email address of the email to which is replied.

hope I have been able to convey my problem.

Advice is seeked to the above problem.

Thanks & Best regards,

Dear richc46,

Thank you for the reply.

I think I confused my question

Let me put it like this i have 6 emails below configured in my windows mail.

asdf at apple,.com
qwert at orange,.com
xyz at apple,.com (configured as the default email in windows mail)
jkl at grapes,.com
qwerty at red,.com
vbn at green,.com

I receive emails on all these accounts (email)

now when I receive an email on qwerty at red,.com and when I reply to it, in the reply window in the " from " field the email id is that of the default email configured - xyz at apple,.com

to give a reply to the email received on qwerty at red,.com from qwerty at red,.com i have to select it from the drop down list otherwise the reply, with no regrets, goes from the default email ID - xyz at apple,.com

In outlook express I believe this was taken care of automatically

Hope I am able to convey my question better.

THANKS & BEST REGARDS
