Hi Ben and Lenwench,

Thanks for your replies. I think the only way to do this is as per your
suggestion to create a contact for him.

Since this user always travel outside and check his emails using Webmail. He
wants to check only one Webmail for both his accounts (personal and
company).

The Webmail interface for his personal account (outside.com in my example)
is too simple and featureless so that he loves OWA (abc.com, company's
account). However, he would still like to send any mails on behalf of his
personal account.

He have setup a forward rule to forward all his personal emails
(outside.com) to company's account (abc.com) so that he can check primary
using OWA.
The problem part is when he is at home, he is only able (and willing) to
download his personal email to his email client (i.e. outside.com).
If he uses OWA to reply emails and CC to himself but the email didn't really
go to outside.com then he will not be able to get it at home when checking
outside.com mailbox.

The "create a contact" solution may make him feel very inconvenience but if
this is the only way to do so then I will still tell him this truth...

Thanks a lot!
Chris

sometimes.
