Outlook 2013 & Proxied accounts, FROM address not defaulting correctly

Hello,
We are hosted by Microsoft for our email. We have been on Outlook 2010 for a couple of years without any issues. I have proxy access to two other mailboxes for support purposes. Up until last Thursday, when I replied to an email in the support mailbox, the
default FROM address was the address for that mailbox. Last Thursday, something changed somewhere so the default FROM address is now my personal mailbox. I do have access to send mail from the proxied accounts so it isn't a rights issue. I am able to change
the FROM address each time I reply but this is cumbersome. My personal email should never be going out on replies but remembering has been a chore since it always used to work correctly.
Our helpdesk had me install a plugin called unisend which did fix one related issue but didn't correct the issue I'm experiencing. I have talked with our senior network engineer and mail administrator and both confirm they did not make any changes. I did
upgrade my PC to Office 2013 in hopes that something became corrupted with my installation (that the upgrade would fix) but that did not correct the problem.
Ideas?

Hi there,
We have received many reports as your description since last week. It sounds like the sending behavior in Outlook 2010 has been changed by some Windows/Office update and goes back to the behavior before.
Before we go any further, I have to mention some of the history for Outlook 2010. In Outlook 2010 without SP1, Mailto’s will use the default/principal account for message when you use Microsoft Outlook 2010 which has multiple accounts delivered to different
data file. However, in later version (Outlook 2010 SP1/SP2), Outlook doesn’t use the default account set in Account settings for new messages. Instead, it uses the account associated with the mailbox or *.pst file you have in focus.
Actually, this behavior is controlled by the registry keys. At this point, I suggest we check the following registry entries are exist and set it to the proper value.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\XX.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\XX.0\outlook\options
Value Name: ForceAccountSelection
Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
Close the registry editor and restart Outlook to check if the behavior what you want would come back.
In addition, our Outlook MVP, Diane Poremsky has written an article with more detail information:
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/outlook-2010/multiple-accounts-and-the-default-account/
By the way, we still cannot figure out which update is the root of the issue, if someone could test it and share the result here, I would appreciate that. Feel free to post back.

  • Outlook 2013 Auto Account Setup for Linked Mailbox Not working

    We've created a linked mailbox, in Exchange 2013 (in domain1), for a user in another AD forest, domain2. We have the AutoDiscover service configured in the other AD forest as well. Our only issue now is trying to find a way to get the Outlook Auto Account
    Setup to automagically configure a user's profile the first time Outlook 2013 is started. If we type in the user's email address and name and click Next, the profile is created successfully.
    I spoke to Microsoft support who helped me confirm that AutoDiscovery was configured correctly in the other forest. Reading this information (
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124251.aspx ) on AutoDiscover, I found what may be the issue. It notes that
    "If the Outlook client is joined to a domain, the user's domain account is used."
    Since the linked mailbox is associated with domain1, Outlook looks like it cannot use the domain account from domain2. I wonder if there might be a registry hack to bypass this and force Outlook clients in domain2 to look at email addresses in domain1?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I noticed that “If we type in the user's email address and name and click Next, the profile is created successfully”. Do you mean the linked mailbox can be setup automatically when you fill in the Name and E-mail Address in
    the Auto Account Setup page? For example:
    If that is the case, the autodiscover service in Exchange side should be configured correctly and it is working for Outlook client automatically account setup.
    If the account can’t be setup automatically when using autodiscover service, please
    verify that the Master Account (Domain2\User1) has full access to the Linked Mailbox ([email protected]) as well as the smtp address using the cmdlets Get-Mailbox and Get-MailboxPermission in Exchange server:
    Get-Mailbox [email protected] | fl PrimarySmtpAddress,*Type*,*Link*
    Get-MailboxPermission [email protected] | fl

  • Cannot accept tasks from outlook 2013 or even from web

    I am using Outlook 2013 64 bit Pro Plus and I tried to assign tasks to other emails (hotmail, outlook, office365) that assigned also to Outlook 2013 but I cannot find accept or decline button for the task, Also the task does not appear correctly.
    Why I cannot find accept or decline task button ?

    Thank you for the update.
    We can’t assign tasks from an Exchange account to a Hotmail account.
    But, if we want to assign tasks from an Exchange server account to another one which use a different Exchange server, we need to run the PowerShell described in the article I mentioned before to enable the TNEF.
    If you want to assign tasks from O365 .edu to another O365 .edu, I believe this can be done. But for your situation, you want to assign tasks from an Office 365 .edu account to an external Exchange account, I’m not sure if this is possible. The
    remote domains setting is controlled by Exchange Hub, Hub can do this within the organization but not sure if it’s out of the organization.
    Since we are not the best resource for Office 365, you can post your question in Office 365 forum to get further assistance:
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/default.aspx
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents,

  • I want my "From" address to default to a specific one. I have deleted the outgoing mail server for the one I don't want to use but it still comes up write

    Since Comcast will no longer allow me to "send" from my AOL Address I need to change my "from:" address on every e-mail I send. I thought I could make my Comcast outgoing server the default one and that would take care of it - it didn't. Then I thought I could just delete my AOL outgoing server and Thunderbird would then have to use my Comast Outgoing Server - it doesn't. I can continue to try and remember to change the
    FROM with the drop down list but it would sure be nice if I could save this aging brain of mine and make the software default for me.

    Why not just add an AOL server to Tools/Account Settings/Outgoing Server (SMTP) and then have that server selected in Tools/Account Settings/<i>aolaccount</i> in the Outgoing Server (SMTP) dropdown in the right pane? Use these settings: smtp.aol.com on port 465, SSL/TLS security, Normal password authentication, User name = your screen name.

  • New Outlook 2013 Installation - How to configure for default pop email and access exchange 2003 server for shared folders only

    I have successfully installed and configured outlook 2013 to access my pop.integra.net email accounts.  We have an 2003 exchange server we use for shared folders which I am having difficulty accessing.
    My preference would be to set up my access to the exchange server and use the same data folders for email as are in use for my pop email account.  In outlook 2003 this was simple, but in 2007 on up it seems this feature has been hobbled.  Is there
    a workaround to get both accounts to use the same database?
    Next issue is if I use the Mail client wizard under Control Panel to set up access to the exchange server - everything looks fine but when launching outlook I receive the following 2 error messages:
    "The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange.  Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance."
    "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened.  Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that your are using.  Contact your administrator for assistance."
    Obviously the optimal solution is to upgrade the Exchange Server - assuming that is not an option - are there any workarounds?
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Downgraded to Office 2007.
    So now have a new Windows 8.1 laptop with outlook 2007 installed.
    From what I have been told this should allow me to connect to the Exchange2003 server
    I set up the pop account - works fine
    set up the exchange account through Mail.exe and am unable to launch outlook.
    "Microsoft Exchange is Unavailable"
    "Retry - Work Offline - Cancel"
    Then
    "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.  Cannot open the Outlook Window.  The set of folders cannot be opened.  The information store could not be opened."
    The data file path is the same for both the pop account and the exchange account:
    C:\Users\Scott\app data\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst
    How do I get this to work?
    Help!

  • E-mails landing in junk folder! FROM address not getting validated!

    Hi,
    I am designing an application which is going to send emails to a group of people in my office every month. I have been given a dedicated SMTP server for that.
    The java code which I have written is sending mails to its recipients but the problem is that they are landing in their junk folder.
    One thing I have found out is, the java code is not validating the FROM address. i.e even If I enter an invalid email id, It is being sent. The worst part is if I use a valid email id, it is not being recognized as a legitimate one.
    The FROM address in the mail is literally a "String" in which u can put anything! (Eg. The emails are being sent if I put the FROM address as "1234567"!! )
    One of the option is to make that mail as "not Junk" in the outlook. But I cant ask everyone to change their filter settings.
    Is there any way in which the java code can first authenticate whether the FROM address is existing and then send the email if it is valid. (I am not talking about the SMTP authentication!)
    I browsed a lot but couldn't find the answer for this. Please help me with this.
    Regards,
    harsha_t

    Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I was suggesting using Thunderbird as a debugging tool,
    not as a solution to your problem. Knowing whether or not it has the same problem
    would tell us whether the problem is some error in your program, or some magic in
    Outlook that allows it to work.
    If the ultimate destination mailbox is on some other server, then there's the server that's
    deciding whether the message you send is junk or not. It probably has nothing to do with
    the way you talk to your mail server. It might be something related to the content of the
    message you're sending. If you send a message with exactly the same content using
    Outlook, does it get sent to the junk folder?
    I've heard rumors that some spam filters will look at the Message-ID header and consider
    any message with a JavaMail-style Message-ID to be spam. (Apparently some spammers
    like to use JavaMail.) You might try overriding the default Message-ID with one of your own.
    Subclass MimeMessage, override the updateMessageId method, and set a value for the
    Message-ID header. Use something simple at first just to prove whether or not it makes a
    difference.

  • Outlook Anywhere proxy changed from Basic to NTLM for external users

    I have a Exchange 2013 environment that is also running Exchange 2010 coexistence (migrating). What is happening is autodiscover is handing out NTLM for the proxy settings and not basic. However when it is using NTLM we seem to get the password prompt over
    and over. If I manually changed it to Basic then it works fine, but when autodiscover goes again it changes back to NTLM and prompts that the Administrator made a change and you need to restart Outlook.
    I checked Outlook Anywhere and all my servers have Basic set for external users and NTLM set for internal.
    I only have a few mailboxes on 2013 and 2010 mailboxes seem not to have a problem.

  • Outlook 2013 - Multiple accounts set up in Outlook for same pop email account

    I started having issues receiving emails in Outlook from my existing POP email account at Yahoo, so I set up a new account and deleted the old one in Outlook 2013.  This fixed the problem in that the new account was successfully receiving emails from
    Yahoo.
    Outlook now continues to show the old account (and the folders within it) in the left hand menu as well as new account.
    Is there a way to merge these two accounts?

    When you setup POP3 account in Outlook, it would connects server and download the message item to data file - .pst file. It stored in the local drive and we can manage it as we thought:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287070/en-us
    From your post, it seems that you've completed to setup the new account and remain the old one in the same Outlook profile. If you want to merge the message items from the old PST to new one, just select all items from old folders and move all them to the
    new folder. (We may also move the folder directly)
    To remove the old account, please first set the new email account as the default one and then go to  File > Info > Account settings > Select the old one and remove it.
    Thanks.

  • All contacts gone after deleting old Outlook (exchange) mail account from iphone.  How to get contacts back?

    I deleted an old company mail account and when doing so it deleted all the contacts on the iphone.  How can I get them back?  Can I do a restore where I import ONLY the contacts?  Or does Restore just overwrite everything?
    When I connect my phone with itunes and go to the "Info" tab, it asks me if I want to "Sync Contacts with Outlook" where outlook is a choice from a dropdown menu.  The question I have is what contacts are stored on itunes, if any, and which way it will write them --->  phone to itunes or itunes to phone.  Since my phone contact folder is empty right now, I want to get these back from itunes.  I am hoping those outlook contacts are stored on itunes and can then be downloaded to my phone, but I do not want to do a complete restore as the last time the phone was synced was a long time ago and contacts will be lost.  If the sync writes an empty contacts folder onto itunes then the restore will not even be an option.  Just want to make sure I do not overwrite any contacts that are stored on itunes.
    By the way, icloud for contacts was not on so I do not have that route of recovery.
    Help.

    Exchange contacts exist only on the Exchange server, and are automatically deleted when the account is remove.  This is standard security policy of Exchange accounts.  They would not have been backed up to iCloud in any event.

  • Outlook 2013 sending email using template not working properly...

    Hey Team,
    We have a single user who when she deletes items from the Inbox they re-appear (in the inbox), if she is running in cached exchange mode. The items do not re-appear in OWA.
    She is not experiencing any network connectivity issues
    We have rebuilt her MAPI profile including deleting all existing OST files
    We have removed and reinstalled outlook / office 2013
    She is the only user with the issue
    There are no Sync issues
    As soon as we disable cached exchange mode this issue immediately goes away, she is running Office 2013 RTM.
    Any Ideas,
    Thanks,

  • Outlook 2013 - Online Archive folders do not remember expand / collapse

    For our QA group, we have just upgraded them from Office 2010 to Office 2013 SP1. We have one user that noticed something. With Outlook 2010, the client would remember which folders he had expanded or collapsed under his "Archive" (the online archive
    generated by the Archiving feature of Exchange server). However, once we upgraded him to Outlook 2013, this is no longer true. Now, the "Online Archive" header is fully collapsed when he open Outlook every time.
    To test, I created a small folder structure with some items in my own "Online Archive" section and was able to reproduce this behavior. Outlook 2013 will remember which folders are expanded or collapsed for the folders in my Inbox but not for the
    folders in my Archive. Is there a way to have Outlook 2013 remember the expand / collapse settings for the Archive?

  • Changing MobileMe account "From" address

    I've decided to consolidate all of my e-mail to my MobileMe account with the address [email protected] All's well except on my iPhone, where e-mails are sent from [email protected] In iPhone settings for my MobileMe account, the address is listed as [email protected], and this is grayed out with no option to edit it. If I try to create a new MobileMe account (with a new name), I get an "already exists" error. Do I have to delete the account and start from scratch?

    Do I have to delete the account and start from scratch?
    Yes. Just remove the account and re-set it up using the [email protected] email address.
    As all your mail is stored on the server, removing and re-adding the account won't lose anything.
    If you are syncing email account settings via iTunes or MobileMe, check that it's not listed as [email protected] anywhere on your computer too.
