I have few cusotmers who have to use Outlook 2000. Besides exchange or microsoft mail, they use large number of email accounts in a single profile. How do i easily change the default email account( the one they want to send messages from ) ?.
In outlook express it seems to be pretty easy. In Outlook 2k i have not seen an easy solution. Please help

not sure if i understood your issue correctly.
but from account A, i could delegate to Account B to say send on behalf of A.
then in Account B's profile, add Account A's account and B will be able to see A's inbox, and send on behalf.
The thing about Exchange is that rights are not inherited automatically, you need to assign them in the individual place, i.e. Inbox, Sent Item, etc.
Composing a new mail, you can choose to show the From Field for you to put in the person's Account.

I have users who have:
1. Office e-mail account (Exchange)
2. Private e-mail account (SMTP/POP3).
3. Some other bussiness e-mail account.

I try to deal with this issue so that I configure both Outlook 2000/9x and Outlook Express on the same PC.
1. Use Outlook 2000/9x for Exchange accounts.
2. Use Outlook Express for SMTP/POP3 mail.

If your users need to use several Exchange accounts on several servers, configure multiple Exchange Profiles. Right click Outlook icon on desktop. Click Properties, click Show Profiles, Click Add. This will enable you to specify new Exchange or some other account.

If you are administrator and want to open several accounts on one Exchange server (like your own account, admin account, some services account etc), open Outlook, click File menu, click Open other user's folder etc.

This is a great idea but i do not have that option.
I have 3 customers who use outlook 2000 they want to check multiple pop3 emails in the same outlook profile.
is there any way to select the pop3 email account in the profile that is a default one. That is to know for sure from which account the email was sent from.

Identical to oulook express feature default email.

Try clicking on Tools / Services and on the Window that comes up, go to the Delivery tab. You will see the list of accounts in the bottom section. This is the order that Outlook uses to process the accounts. Highlite the one you want to be the "default" and move it to the top of the list. Close Outlook and re-open it for the change to take effect.
