Yes, I assume this is not what normal people do all the time

well my bigger problem is that with MfE I can send an e-mail if I type a destination address but I can not reply to a recived e-mail. So I thougth that this is because of my e-mail alias and reconfigured it to be firstname.lastname@company.com instead of username@company.com - it did not help. I reconfigured it back and now I cannot even sync.
