Identities in Outlook 2000??

[Frank Ozzmetal]

Hi all. OK, I'm starting to understand that OE is not Baby Outlook, but am
staggered to find so many things so much easier in OE. Using "Identities" in
OE, I could send out a couple of mailing lists I operate under different
names (eg: "EYEFEAR Mailing List" as opposed to "Frank") with different
Default mail accounts. I would like to be able to do this all in Outlook
2000, but at the moment am manually changing my "name" for each mailing
list, then sending via File/Send Using.

Looking in Google, I see people saying go to File/Identities/Manage
Identities, but this only applies to OE (unless I'm really missing
something!).

Am I wrong to assume that you can have more than one identity in Outlook
2000? How can this be achieved? Many thanks in advance!

What mode does help, about say you are using? Outlook uses profiles which
are similar to identities but it only works with Corporate mode, not
Internet mode.

In Control Panel, set yourself up with a new user account, limited
access. Login using that user account. You have a new set of Outlook
accounts there which are different than your accounts under your primary
account.

You can also set up rules under your primary account to separate the
emails based on incoming rules like email account.
