How can I set up 2 identities in Outlook 2002?

[Guest]

I am currently using Outlook Express and want to switch to Outlook 2002. I
have two separate e-mail addresses/identities. In Express, I could just hit
File --> Switch Identity. Can I do something similar in Outlook 2002, and if
so, how? Thanks!!!

You would need to set up two profiles in Control Panel || Mail || Show
Profiles || Add || follow the wizard. Note that you would have to close
Outlook to launch the other profile.

Noel,
Thanks for your prompt response! Is it then easy to switch between
identities as it is in Express? I appreciate your help!

Well in O.E. you switch identities without closing O.E. but in Outlook you
have to close and then restart to get to the other profile. When you set up
the profiles in the Mail Applelet of Control Panel, and then when you go
into the Show Profiles button you have a checkbox to have Outlook prompt for
a profile to use.

OL profiles are generally used when two, or more, different people use OL.
It means each person only has access to their own mail/contacts etc.
Do you really need this?
You can have multiple email accounts in OL and use whichever you wish.
Create Folders for individual accounts, use rules to move mail to the
appropriate folders.
