Multiple Accounts configuration

[Bob]

Hi,
there is WinXP and Office 2003 on my PC. I am trying to config two mail
accounts in Outlook. I created accounts, tested them – they can send and
receive mail. Now I need to configure Outlook the next way:

1. I created 2 pst files – 1 file to 1 account. How can I configure Outlook
to place received mail from 'account 1' to 'personal folder 1.pst', and from
'account 2' to 'personal folder 2.pst'.

2. Is it possible to configure Outlook, that when you write new mail, press
'Send' button, Outlook asks you from what account do you want to send mail? I
always confuse to send letters from wrong accounts.

Thanks!

Not possible with Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007 does allow you to associate
email accounts with separate .PST files. For Outlook 2003, you either have
to use the Rules Wizard to move mails to folders based on the email account,
or create two separate Outlook Profiles, one for each account and each with
its own .PST file.

Hal, thanks a lot!

What about second question? Let me remind you the issue: I have 2 accounts.
And when I write a new message, it's really important not to mix up from what
account the message is sent. Is it possible to config Outlook to remind me to
explicitly choose account each time I want to send message?
