My" Windows Live" account is the one I use professionally. My other account is through my provider Talk Talk, and I use Outlook to send and receive my personal related e mails. When using Mozilla to access Internet, then send an email to company, the outgoing gets defaulted to the Windows Live account which I don't want to use. I'm using Windows 8

Are you using Firefox to access your e-mail provider, or the Windows Live Mail program?

Go to your e-mail provider web site, and check the help screens.

The next time you want to send an e-mail, do this. Check your return address. You may be able to change it before pressing Send.
