Taking the long route, but so far no luck on the short cut. I can set up
another account as a mail profile. I can then set the option of going to
either profile when opening Outlook, BUT...... Having both account profiles
still does not give me an "accounts" button with the Send button. Do I need
to add such a button with a customized tool bar? The only way I can access
either profile is to go out of Outlook and choose the option on opening,
which is only slighty easier than switching users. If I could have both
email accounts receive into the same inbox, and have the use of the
"accounts" button you talke about on "send" would be great, but just setting
up the additional profile is not effecting this on Outlook 2002 that I can
see.
