Vista - reply on a windows mail

when I click reply on a windows mail, the from address uses my gmail address
how do I make it use my windows address without changing it each time

Hi Bobbie,

You will just need to make that address the default one.

In Windows Mail:
1. Click Tools -> Accounts
2. Select the email account you want to show in the "From" area
3. Click "Set as Default"
4. Click Close

I'm not sure what you mean by "windows address"... but if you want to change
which email account is the default, go to Tools - Accounts
click on the account, and click on Set as Default

Bobbie,

If the original message was sent to your Gmail address, then it will automatically put it in the "From" field when you reply to it even if your other address is set as the default. You will have no option but to manually change it, or ask the sender to send to your other address instead.

Windows Live Mail (WLM) makes it real easy to change the "From" with a simple drop down menu. You might consider using it instead. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus".

For 32 bit and 64 bit Vista:
Windows Live Suite Downloads

You can change the email address to whatever you want:
Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties.
