Multiple Account but Send from only One Account

Hi
Just new to forum. I have read all the threads on multiple accounts, not an
issue. I have got 2 Accounts, call them Account 1 and Account 2. Both set up
as POP3 to receive, then for Account 1 i have created a Rule to move to
another folder.

so all good.

Problem is with sending, in Entourage on my Apple, I could select which
account I wanted to send from ALL the time.

As now on Vista, Windows Mail, I want to SEND ALL from Account 2, but if I
reply from Account 1, then it trys to send from Account 1.

OK, when sending I can select the Account 2 manually.

My Question then is, how do I AUTOMATICALLY just allow to send from Account
2 in ALL cases?

I cant seem to find a solution within forums, maybe its just accept, any
suggestions?

Re: Multiple Account but Send from only One Account

As you probably know, you can select which account is the default,
meaning that account will be used when composing a new email.
When replying, Windows Mail (like OE) always chooses the account
identity which downloaded the original message.

If you always want to reply from one identity, then simply use the
same display name and return address on both accounts.
