Changing outgoing mail account in Mobile 5.0

[stefan_athito]

In Mobile 2003 etc when composing an email you could select the mail account that you were sending it from and alter it to any of the SMTP accounts you had set up, text message or Outlook to synch with your desktop or server account.

You selected it using an ‘accounts’ drop down in the message itself.

I have noticed that this feature does not seem to exist in Mobile 5.0…is this something else that has been removed from this ‘improved’ OS?

Is there any way to get this functionality back?

Cheers

Looks like you have to do it by choosing the account first, then composing a new message.

They might have done this to stop people accidentally sending messages from the wrong email address

fair but the issue I have is all my email from 3 accounts all go into my 'outlook' account on my home PC but hold the account details within them.

I then synch against this account but if I want to reply to them I have to wait to do it from home to get my sending details right...

This is different to the previous version of PPC and a step back for me!

thats totally right.

why should one accidentally change the smtp server?

I think its very inconvenient if you cant change the sender once you have started to compose the message...

microsoft pls change that...

thx
