I don't think so ... I've done it several time :-)
One dumb question:
Do you have a 'Reply-To' address in your account properties?
If so: is it the same as the 'From' address?
If so: could you delete it?
YES! :-)
The whole thing is following one simple rule:
whenever you have the ability to enter different data than in your account
properties and you enter 'nothing' (like '', NULL, zero) the default from your
account setting is taken. So your first try, setting only the Reply-To MUST
have ended in a disaster. The Account-properties 'From' MUST have been used as
you did not tell TB! to use an empty string (what would make no sense, except
you'Re spamming :-) ), but you told it not to use a different string (string
means address in this case ...).
The second case you tried to describe I didn't understood fully.
But let me guess / ask a little bit:
Have you deleted the 'Reply-To' in account properties like above?
OK ... If you now enter your second email address in folder properties _AND_
have the focus in that folder _AND_ create a new mail (<Ctrl>+N or new mail
button), what's in From-field?
It's your second address (should be!)? Fine :_)
It'S not? Sh** :-( ... OK ... what's in To:??? Is there an address? Is there a
template for this address in your address book? Or even more simple: do you
have a template in folder properties, that _may_ set your From: address???
Delete the %FROM macro in address book template and/or folder template.
If all that does not help:
Create a blank new folder.
Make sure there'se _NO_ %From macro in account templates!
Set identity values for second e-mail-address on that new folder.
Does it work?
Yes) There's still a macro active for the other folder
No) There's something _really_ wrong and needs further investigation :-(
CS> Or am I just being thick.....as usual!
That's one thing I can not see or decide from this side of the monitor *g*
