Hi all

I've been a user (and a big fan) of WLM on Windows 7 for a number of years and have had 5 or so email accounts using IMAP working very well between my PC, my iPhone and my iPad.  For a long series of reasons involving a transition to an Android phone and the use of a Chromebook while travelling I decided to change my accounts so that they all forwarded automatically to my Gmail account, which I would then use as a master.  A few years ago this would have been a joke, but it seems that GMail has come on a long way.

So I can forward my emails with no bother.  When they arrive in GMail (online version) I can see which email account they were originally sent to.  In fact, it looks just like any other email client.  If I press "reply" to an email, then I can even send it back via the SMTP address of the original account it came in on.  So it seemed like a perfect solution - and one that works fantastically on my phone and Chromebook and was just as good as WLM.

I've now come back to my main PC running WLM.  The only account receiving email now is my GMail account, but I can still see which original account emails were sent to in WLM.  So for example if someone sends an email to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, it's then forwarded automatically by hotmail to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, and when I look at the email in WLM, it appears like it was sent to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. (In the "To:" line).  In fact, despite having being forwarded to gmail and then pulled in via IMAP to my WLM client it appears exactly the same as if I'd collected it directly from IMAP from the original account.

HOWEVER - here's my problem now:  Previous to all this, if I pressed "Reply" to an email, WLM would automatically populate the "From" field with the account name that the original email had been sent to.  (So, if someone sent me an email to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, then if I press "Reply" then my reply leaves via hotmail.com).  With my new set up via Gmail forwarding, even though my received mails look like they are coming from hotmail, the "From" field is now always set to "Gmail".  

I'd like the "From" field to always be the same as the account that the email was originally sent to.  (Note, I've even made sure that GMail is not the default address also).  I know I can change this manually for each email, but I'd like it to be automatic, because it might be confusing to some people to suddenly have me change email addresses mid-conversation.

Any ideas anybody?
