Having ignored Woody’s advice and upgraded to Office XP I am now paying the price. I have three profiles on my home computer, one for my work, one personal and one for my wife. In OL 2000 I selected a profile when starting Outlook, and everything was cool. I retrieved messages for the chosen profile and sent messages from it.
Now everything is gone to hell in OL 2002. I select a profile when starting OL, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. I get the messages for all profiles willy nilly, including work. Worse, when I reply to a message it often puts the email address from one of the other profiles in the ‘From’ field, even when the message I’m replying to is addressed to the profile I chose when starting OL. I can see the line in the reply window that says ‘This message will be sent via profile B’, even when I started OL with profile A and the email I’m replying to was addressed to the email address in profile A. This is driving me nuts and confuses the hell out of the recipients if I don’t catch it. The only way I have found to fix it is to compose a new message for every reply, instead of hitting the ‘Reply’ button. This seems to send the message from the correct profile.
Has anyone else experienced this, and do you know how to fix it?
