I have 3 email addresses setup as Internet email. When I send an email I want to be able to switch to one of my other email addresses so the receiver sees it coming from bob@hotmail istead of frank@hotmail. What the heck am I missing, this is so simple to do in Outlook Express but I can't figure it out for Outlook. I'm not logged in as the admin on Y2K Pro either if that has anything to do with it.

While you are writing the email look for the options button on the toolbar. In there you can change the sender as long as you have multiple Internet email accounts set up in outlook.

I went into options but it doesn't change anything, whenever I send a email it still shows the same sender, I've sent numerous test emails & received them on my other PC using Pegasus mail & they always show up as being sent by the same sender.

Ihaven't used Outlook in a very long time perhaps I have it setup wrong?, I've been using Pegasus mail for the last 3yrs & sometimes Outlook Express. I added my 3 email accounts under tools + services & there all set as Internet mail, they all receive email fine.

I am assuming you are using Office XP since you are using WXP. If so, on the Message screen itself, just to the right of the SEND button, there is a button that says ACCOUNTS. Clicking on this will bring up a drop-down list all of your email accounts. Just click on the one you want to use and viola!
