= OL2002: Message You Try to Send Through POP3 Account Goes by Means of Exchange Account Instead =

Q281052

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Outlook 2002

SYMPTOMS
When you have both a POP3 account and an Exchange account configured, a message that you try to send by means of the POP3 account to a recipient that the Exchange Server account can resolve is sent by means of the Exchange account.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because when a recipient exists on the Exchange Server computer, Exchange Server resolves the address to an Exchange address. The message then passes to the SMTP transport, which cannot resolve the Exchange address, and the Exchange account is used to send the message.

WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, create a POP3 account in a separate messaging profile. For help with creating a new messaging profile, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

"Q287072 How to Create a New E-mail Profile for Outlook"

MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is by design. When you view the message in the Sent Items folder, the address that appears in the From field is the account that actually sent the message, in this case the Exchange account.
