I have a user who is currently being forwarded e-mails from customers for a business he consults for. This results in clients contacting him at one address and his replies coming from another address. Is there a way to get outlook to allow him to choose what his return address should be so that it will appear that he is replying from his client's server instead of his own? He has bandwidth issues logging onto his clients server, and doesn't want to confuse their mutual customers by replying with his sub contractor address.

If you have multiple e-mail accounts set up in Outlook express, when yo compose a message, the FROM: line is a drop down, and you can choose which account the message shoud be from.

I do this often, as I have several accounts forwarded into one for download.

Just set up a new email account in Outlook with the desired return address. POP server setting isn't important but set SMTP(outgoing) server correctly. Make sure "include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing" is not checked. Then, when sending an email, click the little arrow next to the "Send" button and you'll have a choice of what account to send it from.

I think I covered the whole process but ifnot, just reject my answer and comment with any further questions.
