Our Outlook 2000 is configured for Exchange. My CEO wants to receive his POP mail through the same client (no problem), but also wants to send (big problem). In Outlook Express, there's a pull down button to select "From" for multiple POP accounts. This isn't the case in Outlook 2000 (while configured for "Corporate or Workgroup" mode). When I try to manually send from a POP account (POP address in the "From:" field), I get the "..no permission to send on behalf..". Is there a way to send from a POP account while connected to an Exchange server through Outlook 2000?

The short answer is no. I've even tried creating multiple profiles (1 for exchange and 1 for Internet email) and then tried to open different profiles in multiple instances of Outlook, but to no avail. Outlook will not let you open multiple profies at the same time.

The best you are going to be able to do for your boss is set up Outlook to connect to Exchange and setup Outlook Express (or some other POP3 client) to receive his other mail.

This is what I think also, and how I configured his e-mail. The CEO maintains that his computer in Europe (where he just came back from) sends through is POP accounts just fine - with the Exchange client configured in the same profile (kinda hard to believe). I'm going to leave the question open for a few days, but will give you the points if something else doesn't come to light. Thanks for your help.

I even tried configuring Outlook 2000 for with Internet Only. Still can't select a different POP account to send through in the "From:" field. Oh well. Thanks again for your help.
