Set default Email account: Outlook Express

              When you reply to an email, Outlook Express automatically put the email address to which the original message was sent in the From: field. When you create a new message in a folder that belongs to an IMAP account, for example, Windows Mail automatically puts the account's address in the From: field.

You cannot change that. But you can change what happens when you click Create Mail while in your Local Folders Inbox. Or which address is in the From: field by default when you click on an email address on a web site. You can change the default account.
 

       In this article we will walk thru the steps to set the Default Email Account in Outlook Express so that you no need worry of sending wrong "From" address to your recipients.

How to:

To make an email account the default in Outlook Express:

    * Select "Tools" | "Accounts"... from the menu.

 
    * Highlight the desired "Account".

 
    * Click "Set as Default".

 
    * Now click "Close".
