OK, I'll try to explain it more clearly.

I have a BTinternet account and as well as recieving personal emails
to my btinternet address, my work emails are forwarded to my
btinternet address as well. I want to be able to send emails so that
the person who has recived them can see that it has come from my work
address and not my personal btinternet address, or to be able to
choose which email address the reciever sees. I thought there was
somewhere in outlook that I could do this?

You don't state your Outlook version. The following is for Outlook 2002/2003.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Add a new e-mail account>Next. Click POP3 and click Next. Fill in the details, including your work address in the "E-mail Address" field. Specify your BTinternet POP and SMTP servers, though, and your BT login information. Click More Settings. On the "General" tab, you can put your company name in the "Organization" field. On the Outgoing Server tab, choose "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication". Click OK, then Next, then Finish.

Now, you have two choices. One is to have "Send immediately while connected" enabled on Tools>Options>Mail Setup and then do this: while viewing your Inbox, press ALT-CTRL-S. Choose the "All Accounts" send/receive group and click Edit. Select the account you just added and uncheck "Include the selected account in this group". Click OK. This will cause messages from this account (any of your accounts, actually) to be sent to the SMTP server right away without waiting for a send/receive cycle. The other is to check the "Include the selected account in this group" box, the "Send mail items" box, and uncheck the "Receive mail items" box. This will cause messages from this account waiting in the Outbox to be sent to be included in the the next send/receive cycle. Outlook will not poll for incoming messages with this account, since you already get them via the original account.

When you send a message, simply click the Accounts button prior to Send to select the account from which you wish the messages to be sent. By default, it will be the original account, but when you choose the second account, the recipient will see it as coming from your work address.
