2 Pop Accts -- Keeping them Separate

[Lady Dungeness]

Using Outlook 2002. I have 2 pop accounts. I made a separate folder
for each. One is for business, the other is for personal. I searched this
group and found some hints, but no definitive answers.

A poster wrote, and Robert Sparnaaij answered:
(a) receive e-mails from each account into a separate inbox or directory
Ans: You can use rules for this
MY QUESTION: I made a rule using <if xxx address is in the heading>
==> move to Y folder. This covers to, cc, and bbc fields; it also covers
FROM fields. But if someone sends a message to BOTH my accounts, how do I
filter the message into my business account?

(b) when replying to e-mails, have them appear to come from the

account to which the original mail was sent
Ans: (b) Already does this
MY QUESTION: My Outlook XP doesn't already do this. I'f I'm in the
BUSINESS folder and create mail, it comes from the business account fine.
But if I'm in the HOME account and create New email, the recipient sees my
business address on the From line. I found the <ACCOUNTS> button on the New
Email form and can manually change it to use the second pop account listed,
but I don't want to do this manually. I want, whenever I'm in my HOME
folder (or subfolders), to have the email automatically come from my HOME
pop account with no mention of the Business pop address.
How do I do this?

You mean *only* to your business account folder? In the rule that moves
business account mail, make sure it's listed first and add the 'Stop
processing rules' action so that the rule that moves to the personal folder
won't fire.

You can't. New email is always from your default account. Either teach
yourself to send properly or use seperate profiles. That's really the best
solution.

Thank you. It seems to be working now.
