Outlook 2002 creating an alias for outging mail

Question

I work out of my home for a company that would like me to send correspondence with their email address, even though I'm using my own service. I was able to change this in previous versions of Outlook, but it seems that Outlook 2002 only allows me to change my reply email address.

For example: my email address: me@cable.net

my employer's preferred address: me@employer.com

I can set Outlook 2002 so that anyone who hits the reply button in response to my email sees me@employer.com but it still comes to them addressed as me@cable.net

I don't know if I've described my problem clearly enough -- any ideas as to how/where I should adjust my Outlook settings to accomplish the above?

Thanks!

I'm not sure I fully understand you problem but have you tried going into outlook "Tools" menu "E.Mail Accounts" then "E.Mail - View or change existing accounts" (Next>) select the relevant account [me@cable.net??] and select (Change).

In user information set you name to "your name" and set e-mail address to "me@employer.com"

This works for me but our circumstances might be different.

Do you want a reply to go to your employer? Or do you want the person who is replying to just see the employer's email address in the To box, yet reply to your email?
