Jeff, thanks again. Here's the story. I use POP3 and individual email
addresses for several companies with whom I work, but this newest one does
use Exchange and they wanted me to use my company email address with them by
using Remote Server and their version of Outlook. The problem is that I then
have to manage a different calendar, contacts, etc., all online instead of
offline on my laptop like normal. They don't allow POP3. So, presently they
forward mail to me, but the mail shows up as coming from my own email address
with that company and I can't hit "reply" to get to the original sender and
CC's. Worse, the fowarded email doesn't show the email addresses of the
sender or CC's, just their names. When we tried "redirect", I could hit
reply and I could see the email addresses (checking "properties"), but the
mail shows up as being "sent" to the address to which the mail has been
redirected - and so I would have to (1) know that this mail was sent to my
address with that company and (2) change the properties of the email reply so
that it went from my address with that company instead of the default address
which would be the one to which the message was redirected. Phew! Anyway, I
was hoping to find a workaround - sort of a redirect which shows up as being
sent to the original address, but simply shows up at the address to which it
is redirected (a dumb redirect, instead of a smart one!). Thanks again,
Jeff, for your posts. I hope you can help!
