Always replies from default account

I'm having the same problem as some other people have had. The system always
chooses my default email account for replies instead of the account that the
original email was received on. I don't have any antivirus software
interfering. Could it be because the accounts were imported instead of
manually created? They worked fine in OE6/XP. Is there a way to fix them
without deleting and recreating them?

RE: Always replies from default account

Update: I figured out why it does that, but not a way around it. It's ONLY
on the email that was imported from OE6. The "account" column is blank, so
apparently, those settings were not imported for each email. When I reply to
an old email, it doesn't know which account the email came in on originally,
so it chooses the default account. I guess this problem will go away on it's
own eventually, as I won't reply to old emails after more time passes.

Re: Always replies from default account

Thanks for that clarification.
I have noticed that imported emails lack the account information.
