Which MVP is correct. email

[Ken Blake, MVP]

Yes - unless you don't want your personal mail becoming company property.

Yes, but that's no different with his planned alternative of using
Outlook and OE on the same machine. If it's a company machine, that's
a potential issue, no matter how he does it.

When using Outlook you can only have one email account up at one
time, right?

Yes. You can have one Outlook*profile* open at a time. You can have
multiple
e-mail accounts in an Outlook profile, although only one Exchange account.

Wrong. I, for example, have three POP3 accounts, all set to check for
and receive mail sent to them every 15 minutes
````````````````````````
If Ken Blake is correct, how do you have 2 accounts, or I guess they are
called profiles, on your desktop at the same time?
If Lanwench is correct, is it possible to have an Outlook profile running
at
the same time as an Express identity? I am wondering if there would be a
conflict of configuring two email addresses from my ISP, one on Outlook,
and
one on Express; then if the whole 'default' would not not allow them both
on
the desk top at the same time.
Anyway it's real annoying to have to log out of one account to check the
other. hmm I just thought of something that might work? Have my work email
profile running, and have a browser at the ISP's webmail page to be able
to
use both at the same time/?
(fingers crossed that Ken Blake can detail how he has multiple profiles
running. I sure hope he didn't think my question was if multiplae accounts
were possible!??)

Outlook and OE on the same machine. If it's a company machine, that's
a potential issue, no matter how he does it.

Not really, depending on what kind of mail account he's using (which he
hasn't specified). If he does use Exchange, the data doesn't live on his
computer except as a cache. Using separate delivery locations for personal &
business mail is usually wise unless it's your own company....even if the
company doesn't mind your checking personal mail in general.

Whether or not the company minds, isn't personal e-mail still considered
company property as long as it's processed on a company computer during
company time? And even if the employee's hard drive is purged, isn't it
still possible for a company to monitor the communications while in
transit?

It's really no big deal to have two full accounts listed in
Outlook,
and then you have only *one* thing to back up.

Yes - unless you don't want your personal mail becoming company
property.

That depends on local laws.

communications while in transit?

Possible, but it strikes me as highly unlikely they'd bother, if they
haven't outright banned its use. If they care about that sort of thing
they'd generally just block it.

Yes, if it's Exchange my proposal won't work at all. But OE doesn't
support Exchange, does it? That's why I had assumed it wasn't
Exchange.

No, OE doesn't support Exchange (which I also mentioned in my first reply,
lo those many years ago), but IIRC, he's talking about accessing his
*personal* mail via OE.

Boy, this one's taken on a life of its own, eh? I'll bet the OP regrets
having asked. I think I'm done with this thread now

There's always hope the OP may see the light.

While I totally and always have seriously respected all MS MVPs "here",
one is only given a small amount of information in order to suggest a
fix for a certain problem. The MVPs, nor I, have the PC in front of us
to work on, so one can only offer the best solution given the given
information in a particular post.

That's one thing I really find cool about USEnet, you get varied
responses, some good, some perhaps wont work, but at least you have a
place to start tweaking the niggle. Be thankful that you are getting
free advice to try out.
