| | "From" Address is Changed My wife has a "Gmail" account that she uses and when I send out mail, my address is removed in the "From" box and her address is inserted even though my address is the deflaut address. WM leaves my name, but uses her address. We both have our accounts in WM account list. (Note: I have had Windows Mail over a year now and this problem has come about after I installed Vista SP1 two weeks ago?) This is being done automatically by Window Mail and I am puzzeled how this happens? -- Hate Windows Mail! |

| | Re: "From" Address is Changed Are you sure WM is doing this rather than Gmail? Have you inspected the copy that is in the Sent Items folder? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Joe" <Joe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:5D9A0E8C-5DFD-4683-950F-8F4C915863C1@xxxxxx Quote: > My wife has a "Gmail" account that she uses and when I send out mail, my > address is removed in the "From" box and her address is inserted even > though > my address is the deflaut address.

| | Re: "From" Address is Changed The sent mail is still correct with my address in the From box. When I send a test email back to myself, it comes back with my wife's address inserted. I thought it might be gmail but the sending goes through my ISP provider ad gmail is not involved. When people reply, my email comes back with my wife's address, this is how I noticed the change.

| | Re: "From" Address is Changed Then your ISP provider is probably doing it, instead of either WM or Gmail.

| | Re: "From" Address is Changed Since the copy in the Sent Items folder has the correct 'From' address, I can assure you that Windows Mail is not making the change. The change of 'From' address is done by the SMTP server that you are sending out with. Which SMTP server is that message going out through? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Joe" <Joe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EB1AE0ED-FCA3-46FD-B58D-A138E7427AD9@xxxxxx Quote: > The sent mail is still correct with my address in the From box.
