Outlook XP / Outlook 2003 beta problems...with Exchange 2003

[gicio]

Hi!


I have the same problem in both applications (outlook XP/2003 beta).
I have two E-mail accounts.

1. is an exchange account (current set as default)
2. a private email account


when I send internal mails (in the office) outlook use the exchange server...as I set (that is OK!).
but when I will send an external email (for example to bill@microsoft.com )
Outlook use also the exchange server to send the email and I get an error message.


The only possibility to send external mails is for me to set the email account by hand for every
outgoing mail.

The proble doesn't exist with outlook 2000.
Outlook 2000 automatically use the second email account when it see that the mail must
be send to an extrenal account.



How can I set Outlook XP / Outlook 2003 beta to do the same as Outlook 2000?

I hate to be negative but windows has so many problems in the 'full ($$)' versions, what chance do you really have of a beta version working.

That wasn't his question, he also stated that XP had the same results

Are you not able to send outbound mail via exchange in your organization?

I've never heard of seperating out internal mail vs. external mail outbound ...

I'm on outlook 2000 so I can't help much, but I maybe able to play around with it later on another machine.

I have the solution!!
just change at "Active Directory Users and Computers" for every user the email address from
(example) gicio@gicio.local to gicio@gicio.de
AND it's works!!!
