Always reply massages with default account/same email address in Outlook

Author Sun Last modified

Typically, when multiple email accounts are configured in Outlook, the application defaults to using the account that has received the email to send replies. However, if you'd prefer to always use your default email account for replying to all messages, there's a straightforward solution. With Kutools for Outlook, there's an option specifically designed to help you reply to all emails using your default account effortlessly.
