Adding second pop3 mailbox, seperate folder / Outlook 2003
EDIT: I've continued to digging and realized that I don't think it's actually personal folders that I want to add, but I want to add another/separate mailbox. Maybe? Maybe not. Onto the original message:
I currently have about 5 e-mail accounts that I manage via one Outlook personal folder sets and I use rules/filters to move them into approrpiate folders for management. Four of these are for geeking out Star Wars reasons (what can I say), but one of them is a more legitimate account. The problem I'm running into is that I'm forgetting to select the correct account to send from - so e-mails that are sent on business come labeled as coming from my Star Wars website. Whoops.
Now, I can obviously use profiles to manage this better, but I'd rather not have to close and re-open outlook to change which account I'm looking at. I still want to be able to see them all at once, but I want to separate the accounts out. Essentially, I want to somehow add a second set of personal folders - I've seen it done, but that was in the context of an exchange server and setting up a delegate; these are all pop3 accounts.
I've figured out how to add a "folder" to my contacts so that my business contacts aren't in the same group as the other ones, but this isn't efficient - it still keeps all the accounts managed together and I have to manually move/drag contacts from my default list into the new folder.
As such, is there a means to add a second, seperate account? Did I explain what I'm attempting to do well enough?
thanks
