Two Pst's running simultaneously

[Andrew Z]

Hope someone can help. I am travelling with the laptop
and I need to have Outlook run tow different pst files.
This means collecting emails from two separate email
accounts into 2 different Outlook pst files and keeping
the emails separate. If I set up all the email accounts
for both outlook files then all thej emails for both
accounts arrive in the primary email recipient file when
I hit send and receive. Is there any way to keep them
separate without having to rewrite all the email account
information each time so I don't get the other account's
emails coming into each other's. I hope this is clear - I
doubt it. Any suggestions.

Not very clear at all. Explain what you need to do.
Why do you need separate PST files? Or do you mean you really mean separate
Outlook profiles?
Only one PST file can receive mail within a given profile.
Users who want to keep email from different account separate use rules to
direct them to separate folders in the same PST.

Check the rules wizard to see if you can move items by the account they are
received by.

Create separate profiles for each account by going to Control Panel-> Mail->
button Show Profiles. Then from within each profile connect to the other
pst-file by File-> Open Outlook Data File... When you want to collect mail
from the other account restart Outlook with the other profile.

If you want to be able to Send/Receive from both account within the same
profile you'll have to configure Wizard Rules

You can't do it directly. One PST file has to be the default delivery
location. What you'd have to do is set up a Rule in the Rules Wizard that
looks for the e-mail address in the header of the incoming message and
then moves the messages destined for the other PST file to it.
That probably won't be 100% and any messages addressed to both addresses
will get moved to the other PST file but it should be pretty close.
