I could explain why, 99% of the time, Outlook/Exchange do the right thing. But you are correct - when it doesn't do the "right thing" it's very annoying and non-trivial to correct.

Info for Outlook 2010 and later looks a little sketchy, but it's there if you dig for it. But, in the meantime, we've found other problems: - Anyone with a personal Contact Group (Distribution List) will still reference the old account, despite the changes in email addresses - Anyone with an old message which originated within our Exchange system, referencing an old account, will still use the old account, again despite the changes in email addresses It's so much fun explaining to users, "Yes, I know Outlook shows the email address as [email protected], but it's lying to you, it will change it to [email protected] when the message is sent". And we wonder why people hate computers. -- Ben
