This came in with my first batch of messages, I just bought the
program and subscribed today. But your situation matches mine,
so I'll tell you how to set it up like mine.
1. Set up a separate account for each email address you use.
2. Set each of the accounts up with the appropriate POP3 server
info, including username and password. But, for the SMTP (send)
server, enter in the server at the ISP you are connected to.
This way you don't have to filter the mail. The 'From' will have
the correct address. Works OK.

****** ORIGINAL MESSAGE ********
Hi,
I asked this via information request, but haven't gotten any response
to it yet, maybe some of you have faced similar situations and found a
way to work with them...
----
I've been looking for a new e-mail client for quite a while, and
having tried and rejected many, it seems like The Bat! comes very very
close to what I've been seeking. If there's a way to solve the
following 2 issues. I checked the TBUL archive but couldn't really
find what I was looking for...
I have e-mail accounts at more than one ISP (5 of them, made accounts
in The Bat! for each). Ok, no problem, The Bat! can make handle
multiple accounts, I found this already, and it is working just fine
to retrieve mail from all of them.
None of the Belgium ISP's however support relaying. I get
'Relaying Denied' messages if I try. which brings me to problem 1.
1) If I have received an e-mail into one of the mailboxes of an
account which ISP I'm not connected to at the moment, I CAN retrieve
the mail, but when replying it'll fail (relaying denied). I can solve
this from the mail-edit window via Options, Active account, but I need
to change it for each message. Is there a way to "lock" which account
to use for sending messages. I don't mind the originating address to
mismatch the "from" address which they will reply to. Most aren't
smart enough to figure out how to obtain the real originating address
anyway :-)
2) I have multiple mail names at several of my mail accounts (ex.
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] When
checking mail, I can neatly put mail for each mail name into it's own
"inbox" (inbox sales, inbox support...) folders with a filter, haven't
done that yet, but I guess it's easy enough.
But, how do I define how to set another "From:" address when I reply
to a mail from any of said inboxes. I don't see a way to do this.
When writing a mail, I can change the "From" to any of my account
names, but I can't add my other mailboxes to it.
Am I supposed to make a new mail account for each of my mail accounts
(which I get via one and the same POP3 loginname)
I haven't found an alternate way to make other "from" mail names.
