Windows Mail not replying with correct email address

I am using windows mail with internet provider Comcast
I have four email accounts with comcast. A (default) and B, C, D secondary
accounts
Each has its own user name and password,
If I Send email from B to C, A downloads it, but will show that B sent it.
If I click reply A is always the email address it replies with.
So basically Default account downloads all email from all four accounts, But
all four accounts can send > so B@xxxxxx, sends, but A@xxxxxx
recieves all the emails from ABC&D
All my accounts are set up seperately with there own user name and password,
and in the properties, it has the reply with field filled out with its
respective email address. (Ex B@xxxxxx shows it should reply with
B@xxxxxx) etc..
Now, I am using McAfee and they say its not them, I talked with Comcast. and
they say its not them, that its microsoft (Windows Mail problem)
All I know is that this was never a problem in XP with Outlook express, and
i would like for my a, b, c and d accounts to all send and receive and REPLY
with there own account.. Can SOMEONE please help me befor I lose my mind.
Thank you.

Re: Windows Mail not replying with correct email address

It is not at all clear to me how one account (A) can download messages
addressed to the other accounts (B, C, and D). How are you ascertaining
that A is doing all the downloading since Windows Mail has only one
common Inbox? It might be revealing to add the Account column to the
message list pane, so you can verify which account downloaded what
message.
