Best way to handle 2-email accounts

[JCO]

I'm helping a friend configure his outlook to get his email (from
Comcast.net). A simple task to do. The other day he created an email
account for his wife, on Comcast too. What is the best way to handle
2-accounts on outlook.

They are using WindowsXP, however, they use the same logon for both. This
means, my only solution, is to add the other account as I did the first
account. This means, when outlook retrieves his email, it will also
retrieve her email.

Is this the only option?
Should it be configured to get both automatically?
If so, how do you keep the two inbox separate? By adding an account, will
it automatically create a separate inbox, sent, draft... folders?

Thanks.

Go to Start>Settings>Control Pannel>Mail. Click on the "Show Profiles"
button. Here, create a new profile for his wife and click on "Prompt for a
profile to be used". This way, when you launch Outlook, you will be prompted
for the profile and you can make your selection based on who is using it.
