I never heard of anyone having this problem before, Nick. Can you explain what you mean by "It all boils down to 2 accounts with different ISPs, and a dot mac account that's set up to redirect through one of the ISPs". You mean all the others are dummy accounts - SMTP only? If so, then mail sent to them must actually be sent to other, real accounts, and those are the ones Entourage will reply from. I have scripts that get around this: Reply Rerouted Accounts, but they need Akua so won't work as is in X. usually my Akua scripts are mostly for setting preferences with modifier keys and just need separate refs scripts. In your case, since you're a scripter, you could re-write them to hard-code your prefs instead. Entourage will reply from the REAL account to which a message is sent without question, once you remove the pref to reply from default account. I have 3 accounts plus a dummy account - everything works perfectly. there are people with 9 accounts or more - no problem. Yours must still be in a muddle that you have devised for other purposes. If you send in a chart here, using real names and explanations of which accounts are real, which dummy, and how it all works, I'm sure we can sort it out for you. But you'd probably have to give up all the redirection stuff if you want messages to reply from the account to which they are sent. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
