Re: Outlook 2003 - Pop3 Mode - Manage Multiple Domains in single box/P

In order for outlook to properly reply to the message, you need to have it download the emails using the correct account. You can either do it by setting up each account to download from the single mailbox and getting duplicates (not recommended) or download directly from each account's mailbox (recommended).

Outlook 2003 - Pop3 Mode - Manage Multiple Domains in single box/PST.

I have moved from an Exchange Server to a standalone Outlook 2003 system.
On the exchange server I was able to manage multiple domains and the emails
associated with them. I would like to do the same with just the Outlook
client in Pop3 mode.

I have multiple domain emails forwarding to a single Pop3 mailbox as my ISP.

In order to setup the correct "Reply To" field in Outlook I can set up
multiple accounts to send out on (by selecting from the drop-down Accounts
list). However...

The problem is with associating the "Reply To" field with incoming mail.

The only way (it seems) to associate an account with the proper "Reply To"
information is to have that account download the mail from the POP3 server at
the ISP. However, if I do this, then EACH account downloads the mail from
the server and I end up with 10 of the same message in my Inbox!

I want to be able to have a single account download from the POP3 server
into my Outlook mailbox, then either manually or, ideally, have Outlook
determine the proper "Reply To" information based on the incoming/destination
email address. But even if I manually choose the proper "From" account when
I reply to the message, the internal "Reply To" information is the account
that it was downloaded from.

So I either have 10 duplicate emails, one of which has the proper internal
"Reply To" information; or I can turn of downloading for 9 of 10 accounts,
but not have the proper internal "Reply To" information.

Setting up different profiles will not change the duplicate email
downloading problem.

Is there a way to resolve this and have just a single mailbox downloading
multiple domains/email addresses from singe POP3 account, not have duplicate
emails and retain and/or automate internal "Reply To" information.

Thanks,

Todd
