I've got Outlook 2011 on a 2008 iMac and a 2012 MBA. I've got a weird bug on only the iMac, which has three email accounts: two IMAP and one Exchange. When I reply to an email, the To line in the thread has one account address -- the Exchange one -- in quotes followed by the second account address in <>.

It doesn't make a difference which account is in the <>. The address in quotes is always the same: the Exchange one.

I could live with this bug, but I'm self-employed and have multiple clients. One of them gave me an Exchange account, and that's the one that always appears in quotes. To avoid confusion, I can't have that Exchange address going out in every email.

I deleted this email address in my contact info, but that didn't make a difference. I could try deleting the Exchange email account to see if that makes a difference before recreating, but first I thought I'd check to see if anyone on here has the same problem.

Outlook has identical configurations on both machines. The IT staff at the client that provides me with an Exchange account has never seen this problem and doesn't know what to suggest aside from deleting the account on the iMac and then recreating.

For what it's worth, both machines are running Office 2008. The only Office 2011 product running on both is Outlook because the client provided it. I didn't have this problem when I was running Entourage on the iMac. Could the root cause be something in the way my identity exists in the two versions of Office?

Any help is appreciated.
