At the weekend i purchased the domain www.polish-it.uk.com with a years hosting. This hosting came with 15 pop 3 mail boxes with email forewarding.

i them set up 3 email address

dan@polish-it.uk.com
sales@polish-it.uk.com
enquiries@polish-it.uk.com

Then i forewarded it to the email that was set up in outlook, somethine like dan1234566@wannadoo.co.uk (the emails that set up with your isp, that you never use).

If i send emails to the above emails addresses from my hotmail addess, they all come though to my outlook express ok.

Question is, if i were to reply to an email a customer sends, i want it to say "from dan@polish-it.uk.com: when they read the email their end.

How would i do this as i have no idea?

Thanks

Or just set your email address as dan@polish-it.uk.com for the Wanadoo account in Outlook.

Then all emails will looks like they came from that address (rather than just using a reply-to).

Some ISPs block you from sending mail using their SMTP server if it isn't a domain they use, but this is quite rare.

Take for instance my corsasport email...

I have billing@, info@, etc all come into one POP3 box. My Outlook config simply has my email address defined as tim@ -- if I reply to someone who originally emailed billing@ they'll just see it come from tim@ (no big deal).

Reply address is seperate (and mine is blank). That's if you want the email to come from tim@, but if the user hits reply it'll send back to support@, etc.

You could also set all three accounts up separately and not check two of them. It'll only read the box once but it will allow you to pull the drop down box when you compose to choose which outgoing address you want to use.
