Incoming email from second account received into default account

S

SSG

I'm using Outlook 2003 on my wireless laptop. I have 2 email accounts - the
default account and account 2. When doing a Send/Receive, all incoming mail
to account 2 is downloaded to the default account as well as #2.

This doesn't happen on my desktop, where I'm using Outlook 2002. Any ideas?

Thanks, Shelley

You either need to set the options to not include an account in the
send/receive or
if you wish to use both create a new sub folder of the Inbox and use rules
to move msgs from one account to this folder

This is normal. No matter how many POP accounts you have, they'll all use
the same default folders.

The version of Outlook doesn't matter. The types of the accounts do. At
work, you either have rules that are doing the separation or you're using an
account of the type that uses its own folder set, like IMAP.

That worked perfectly - thanks for the tip!
