handling multiple email addresses
Not sure if this goes here.
Does anyone know of a program that will let you
recieve email addressed to you that each have a
different addresses AND allow you to respond to
those emails under the exact name it was sent to you.
When I receive mail and answer it, it always goes
out in the name of my isp..... unless I go into a
control panel for imail which is what I'm trying to
avoid.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Sure, you can set up new accounts in almost any email client that exists.

In order to set up an account, it will have to be POP3, though. You won't be able to do that for aliases.

Thanks.
So there is no way to set something like this up ? All mail would
go out with the pop3 server extension?

hunh? server extension?!
POP3 means the email takes up space on your server and you access it there, as opposed to it being redirected to another POP3 account somewhere else (alias).
You can change the reply address to whatever you want, but you'll still have to set up accounts in your physical email reader/application to do so. This is very typical, common, what the applications are designed to do... What email application do you use?

you need to set up two different e-mail accounts in Outlook. they will have different usernames and passwords. make sure you actually have both accounts created on the server and they are not just 'forwarders' (i.e. they forward e-mail to another e-mail box).
what is your server software? is it CPanel?
do you use POP3 to retrieve e-mail?
how many e-mail accounts do you have in your Outlook right now, one or two?
