Outlook 2010 (prior to SP1) contains an issue that corrects a sending issue when you have multiple addresses synced in a Profile and you are unable to click on a mailto link.
This ends up boucing the email back from your other addresses’s Exchange server, disallowing you to send from your POP/IMAP account under your different email address.
