Allow users to change their defaul e-mail account
Hello everyone. Is there a way to allow users to change their default email address from the one defaulted by exchange. ie, they have two accounts, user@ournetwork.com and user@notournetwork.com . They need the notournetwork.com address to be the default one for sending emails. the notournetwork accont is an IMAP account hosted by a third party. Everytime i do this, the settings are reverted back whenever they login to the network again, possibly when the group policy is updated too, i havent been able to check that. I have looked at the group policy for outlook 2007 and did not find that setting there. i might be missing something. Can this be done thru the exchange management console? thank you

Hi, Unfortunately there isnt any way to select the address while sending emails, Exchange uses primary SMTP address by default while sending. If you have small number of users then you may think of two different user mailbox and assign one-one email address to each and give send-as rights so while sending mail, another mailbox can be selected in From address and while receiving mails to IMAP set forwarder to main mailbox.
