Bells & Whistles for Outlook: preselect the outgoing email account
Using the right Outlook email account for sending email messages
When you deal with multiple email accounts defined on the same Outlook profile, chances are that, by mistake, you happen to send a business email through your personal email account or vice-versa. Even worse, if you manage multiple businesses, by mistake you can send an email related to one of your businesses through the email account of your other businesses or companies. It can get very, very embarrassing!
This is where the Outlook add-in comes to help you: using the send features of the Bells & Whistles add-in for Outlook, you can make sure that each email message is going to be sent only through the right email account.
Using the Send Options of Bells & Whistles for Outlook, you can create unlimited send rules, allowing you to specify what email account to be used for certain Outlook messages or groups of messages. You can define each rule based on the following options:
the outgoing message type (new, reply or forward);
the email address(es) where the message is going to be sent.
Once you defined the rule criteria, all you need to do is to enable/check the option box called "send it from this account" and to select the desired Outlook email account from the dropdown list:

Once you selected the email account and you are done configuring the rule actions, click on the OK button to save the new rule.
From this moment, when you will be sending an email that matches the criteria of your rule, Outlook will automatically select and use the right email account for sending that email, so you do not have to manually select the email account anymore. Even better, you will now be safe from sending emails through the wrong email account!
