Outlook question?

Question

I am using outlook 2003. I have a work laptop that originally was owned by somebody else. It was basically transfered to me. When I open my email in outlook and try to create a new message, the "from" field is empty!. So every time I have to manullay enter it?. How do I make it default to my "email account name" in the "from" field. This way I don't have to type it in every time?

Thanks

Answer 1

Don't think that can be defaulted to anything, when you send email the other person will know it is from you though.

Answer 2

Go to TOOLS
click on E-MAIL ACCOUNTS
select VIEW OR CHANGE EXISTING E-MAIL ACCOUNTS
click NEXT

find your account and SET AS DEFAULT You may have to change the mail settings (POP & SMTP).

Better thing to do is reformat the computer and reload WIndows. That way, ALL the settings are yours.
