Multiple email address management through outlook 2007
We own mulitple domains that we use to represent our clients, so that we can send and receive emails that appear to be from under their corporate umbrella. So if our client is "widgets.com", we have a domain called "widgetbillingservices.com ". All emails go through the same email server (non-exchange). So far, i have had to setup multiple user accounts on the email server in order to segragrate the emails in outlook...so a user has an account like "<firstname>_<lastname>@ou rcompany.c om" and a differernt one like <first initial><lastname>@widgetb illingserv ices.com. I want to be able to have just one account on the email server, so then when the email gets to outlook, outlook will decide which outlook account the email should go to based on the domain. Then when the user replies to that email it is using the correct "from" address. Hope this makes sense. Thank You
How about creating different Outlook profiles per each domain?

without creating different user accounts on the email server, like the email prefix, all emails are just going to show up in one profile. my desired result is to not create multiple user accounts on the email server. i want outlook to "see" that "this email is sent to me@clientnumber1.com. when the outlook user reolies, it will use the account that is setup with the reply address 'me@clientnumber1.com' and not 'me@originaloutlookprofile .com'.
I guess I wasn't cleat, I was suggesting that you create additional Outlook profiles, in Outlook, at each workstations for those users that need to reply to multiple, different accounts.
For instance, I have Outlook with four profiles, one profile with jscmoe@data1.com, dtracy@batman, com, superman@marvel,com and bobama@whithouse.gov. When you start Outlook, it can prompt you for which profile you want to run, you pick, and then it loads that profile and gives you access to that account.

yea, i know what you meant, but that isn't a feasible solution.
How about using a different email client for each domain, e.g. Thunderbird for one domain and Outlook for the other. Using two different clients would help the users keep the accounts straight.
Why aren't the solutions presented feasible?
ASKER
it's not feasible to have users logging in and out of different profiles. there can only be one outlook profile per user.

also, this really isn't a relevant question anymore. i have moved on to a different solution. thank you for responding.
