I have found only one post relating to this topic (but no help) (I apologise if I have missed other posts)

I am a freelancer, and I quite often have to use an email address given to me by my client. I usually bring these in to my Outlook Inbox and can have several such email addresses active at any one time.

To prevent confusion and embarassment, I would like to ensure I do not email a client's customer from the wrong email address. Can I create a customisation (setting, macro etc) to set a default 'From' email address property for each Outlook contact?

Please ask for any clarification required.

regards

John
 
There isn't a native function to do this but you can use VBA - Assign an Email Account to an Outlook Contact - Slipstick Systems

Another option, if you will mostly only send email to addresses in the domain, is a macro that checks the domain on the from and to fields and asks if you want to send using that account when the domains don't match. It'll get old fast if you need to send to other addresses using that account though.
 
Thanks for pointing me to this solution. Not sure why I didn't find it when I searched, I will giv it a go. Thanks again!
