Set e-mail address

SOLVED

Hi

Let's say I have a personnal hotmail address and one for my company, wich is different.

How do I set things so that my invoices are sent from my company address?

Thank for helping

    I'm assuming you mean that you have two email accounts set in Outlook, your personal one is the primary, but once in a while you send invoices from your company.

    This may be possible using Rules in Outlook, such as a rule that when an outgoing email contains 'invoice' or 'order' that you want it to not send it, so that you can have a chance to open and modify the outgoing email.

    ********************************************************************

    by having different logins on your computer.

    When you're logged in as your 'company' self, your company email is the primary or only email.   This will keep everything completely separate, which may, or may not be what you want to do.

    Hi Randy

    For your first idea:

    I use Windows Live Mail and it seems to me that rules are for Incoming messages. I had a look at Outlook (MS-Office), and it seems to me to be the same.

    Rules for Outgoing messages apply when messages are sent... which is too late to change the sender address.

    Your second idea separates things too much...and I'm not ready for that yet!

    And after trying many settings, I found out I could set a default outgoing address in Outlook, which I set to my company address, before I send my Invoices or Statements, and set it back to my personnal address after the job is done.

    Thanks for helping me

    With Outlook desktop there is one address that is your 'primary', which I alluded to:

    I'm assuming you mean that you have two email accounts set in Outlook, your personal one is the primary, but once in a while you send invoices from your company.

    So a person can keep it as 'personal' and change it temporarily to run a batch of 'company' emails, or

    keep it set to the 'company' email and change them one at a time, to send the odd personal email.

    The 'separate logins' idea was suggested in a time management book I read somewhere.   The scope is well beyond email, the idea is that you won't slip into playing a game or checking Facebook, if it takes a reboot, and that you won't feel the psychic weight of all the work you could be doing, when you're 'on a break'.
