515243 2007-01-12 10:12:00 Orcon lets me keeping using my email account with them.
I'm now with another ISP.
How do I download email from both ISPs... but only reply via my new ISP?
Currently my Orcon email trys to make tracks via orcon smtp.
I'm not sure how to change this by default.
Any clues.

I'm sure that I've done this with earlier versions of Outlook... I'm using 2003
Cheers

515244 2007-01-12 10:36:00 go into tools --> email accounts --> view or change...
Click on your new account, and move it to the top of the list using the "move up" button, then set it as the default account using the "Set as Default" button

Thanks... already done this however... when I reply to email from my Orcon account still tries to go via Orcon.

I know that I can change email accounts manually for each email as I reply... but this is kind of tedious.

515246 2007-01-13 04:55:00 I don't use Outlook but in your Orcon account's Properties change the Outgoing mail (SMTP) to your new ISP. For example if it is Xtra it would be smtp.xtra.co.nz

The incoming mail settings would stay as Orcon.

I can't think of how to fix it properly if that didn't work, but if you change your email address in your old account (in outlook account properties) & change the SMTP server to your new ISP, it will look the same to whoever is receiving the email as if you sent it through your new account.
