Yes, I have "unchecked" the preference for "Reply using the default account". I have three accounts defined for Entourage: 1. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Default) 2. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. [EMAIL PROTECTED] The account used for replies seems to depend upon which IMAP inbox the replied-to message first came into. If the e-mail is moved from the IMAP server inbox to a folder "On My Computer", a reply still seems to select the appropriate from address. BUT, it turns out that account # 3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), although it has its own Entourage "account", simply points to the same IMAP server as account #1 (my default account). I have a separate domain name (abc.com) that is set up through MX record magic to forward e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That way I don't need a separate IMAP account for this low-volume account. It's my goal to manage all e-mail for either account #1 or # 3 from a single inbox - since it all resides in one place anyway. So if I open the IMAP inbox for account # 3, it's a mirror of the inbox for account # 1. If I reply to e-mail in the account # 3 inbox (any e-mail, regardless of the actual "to" address), Entourage uses [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the "from" address. If I reply to the same e-mail in the IMAP inbox for account # 1, it will use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the from address. Note: this is true regardless of which "to" address (#1 or #3) caused the e-mail to show up in my inbox! What's more, if I move an e-mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] out of the IMAP inbox for account #1, and into a folder On My Computer", any replies to that e-mail come from account # 1. Confusing, no?
