Windows Live email 2012 as part of windows 7 essentials (Build 16.4.3528.0331) will only send from one account i.e the default account even though I have the option of using either my Hotmail account it will only send from the default Live account. It shows in the sent box as being sent from Hotmail when i choose Hotmail from the drop down menu, but when it is received it always shows as being sent from Live mail.

This problem only applies to my microsoft emial accounts not the other non MS accounts I have added to windows Live 2012, which send perfectly correctly. I will be grateful if there is a solution (other than changing the default account , which will only work by changing it via the online Outlook.com), although I suspect that this is a bug that MS should sort out.

thank you
