Ms Office Tune Up

If you have multiple accounts, when you compose a new message or reply to or forward an incoming message, you can click the Account button to choose from which account the message is sent. Normally, any replies to your message are sent to that account. However, that might not be convenient for you. For example, you might send the message from an account that is scheduled to be deleted soon, and you want replies to go to your new account. Or you might prefer that replies go to your assistant or someone else in your department. Similarly, you might send a business message from home and prefer that replies go to your business address.

For these situations, you can specify an alternative address to which replies are sent:

1. In the message window, choose Options, Direct Replies To. Outlook displays the Message Options dialog box, shown in Figure 1.


Figure 1 Use the Message Options dialog box to specify an alternative address for replies to the message.

2. Make sure the Have replies sent to check box is activated (it should be activated by default).
3. In the text box, type the address you want to use. To choose an address from your Contacts list, click Select Names, choose the recipient, and click OK.
4. Click Close.
