[GUI-Talk] Looking for a Setting in Outlook

[Steve Jacobson]

Denise,

This link has good information and maybe what I'm about to say is obvious, but I hope you can avoid problems I did not avoid.  I have a profile with two accounts and I set the default account.  However, as the link says, Outlook will tend to use the account when replying that contains the email to which you are replying to.  In addition, in my experience, it uses the account that is linked with the folder that is current even on a new message, not the Default Account.  While the behavior is fairly consistent, I really wanted all of my mail to be sent through the same account regardless of how I received the message to which I was replying.  Therefore, in the end, I just got into the habit of pressing ALT-M to get to the list of "from" email accounts available and picking the one I wanted.  Setting the default will certainly help you, but I found it of little value in my case.  As always, something in what I have written could change on a dime with an update or even be somewhat different in a newer version and I may possibly have not noticed the change.

Best regards,

Steve

Hello everyone,

I am using Outlook 2016 under Windows 10. I thought that there was a setting
in Outlook mail that would let the user set a default account from where
e-mail is to be sent. However, I cannot locate it. Does it still exist?

Thanks.
