Multiple email address using a single profile - outlook 2003

[Jason Piercey]

I've got a few email addresses that I use frequently.
As it stands now I've got a profile for each address
and switch profiles as required.

I am foolish in thinking that I should be able to setup
outlook 2003 so I can use all emails addresses from
a single profile, each having their own respective return
address?

Thanks for any guidance.

Sure - people do it all the time. Set up your accounts under one profile,
then create rules to move mail to account specific folders.

I hadn't thought of rules. Doesn't seem like this would
allow for specific return addresses, I'll look into this a
little more.

I was originally thinking of something like multiple .pst
files in the navigation pane. Simple pick and choose.
I know I can open other .pst files in the navigation pane
but only one return address is used for outgoing mail.

When sending your composed email message(s), use the Accounts button to select the sending account. This will set your outgoing mail account and the replies will come back to that account.

what about Outlook 2007? I want to use three different email addresses under
a single IMAP account (pst) but Outlook 2007 forces me to create a new
account (pst) for each address. WHY??? (My mail server is set to forward each
"sub address" to the IMAP account, and I don't want to set up a separate
account for each email address on the server. I must be able to set up
Outlook 2007 to receive and send using multiple addresses from one IMAP
account.

Because you are creating separate IMAP accounts for each address, Outlook
can't know that you're just creating aliases for the single account and will
create separate PSTs for each account. Instead, create your extra accounts
as POP accounts, configuring them to never receive mail. You can use any
server address you want for the incoming server, even a server that doesn't
exist, like "pop.whocares.junk". Specify the same credentials and SMTP
server as you use for the IMAP account.

ok... thanks
quite an extensive (with all filters in place) undocumented
no-where-to-be-found workaround for another all-new updated latest and
greatest version of Microsoft.

Outlook IMAP has ALWAYS worked that way. It's certainly nothing new.
