Outgoing mail server help

Hi

I have set up an email address in windows mail using my gmail email as my outgoing mail server. Problem I have is that when I send an email it is saying the sender is the outgoing server email and not the email address set up to receive emails.

Eg

tom@vistax64.com the windows mail address

tom@gmail.com (outgoing server)

send an email from tom@vistx64.com in Windows mail

Recipient sees tom@gmail.com and replies to that

I would like them to see tom@vistax64.com

Any help much appreciated. Hope you understand what I am on about!

Thanks

Tom

I haven't tried this, but you may want to: Click on Tools, then
Accounts, then the account sending the mail, then Properties.
Try changing the Reply address: to the address you want to
use for mail coming back, then click Apply, then OK, then
Close. Restart Windows Mail and send a message to yourself
using this account. When you receive it, check the return
address. If it's not what you want, try this again, except
change the E-mail address: line instead. If this causes problems,
you may need to change one or both of these addresses back.

I suspect that some email servers won't let you send mail with
any other return address than the one you use to send it, though.

Re: Outgoing mail server help

In order to use a non-Gmail return address with Gmail, you will have
to register that address with them first:
