My suggestion would be that you create an addressbook template (either for single addresses or for an entire address book group) where you set the account and FROM address to use for outgoing messages in a template, using a macro combination of... %ACCOUNT="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"%- %FROM=""%- %FROM="Avi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"%- The first one sets the account to use, the second clears the old FROM field, and the thing one sets the new FROM field. The trailing "%-" behind the macros only make sure that no extra empty lines are inserted. One thing remains, you need to transfer the filters from your old account to the new one. Depending on how many filters you have, you can either Copy and Paste them one by one from the sorting office of the old account to the sorting office of the new account - or, if you have many many filters, you Copy them from the old account (one by one) and Paste them into a single textfile (in Notepad or somewhere), then you Copy the entire textfile and Paste it into the sorting office of the new account (in one go). I hope my memory serves me right with the filter copying, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) The development of Hydro-electric power in the desert of North America awaits only the introduction of water. -- Statement in "Nuclear News" ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
