Confusion over second pop3 account

[Beemer]

I have added a second pop3 account with new email address at the
request of my employer.

In Outlook 2002 account setup I note that I can tick for each account

Incoming

Outgoing

Do both accounts outgoing require to be ticked? This is what makes me
confused. Obviously I do not want any of my in/out mail from my
private account going to my employer's server.

When I send an email to my employer how does outlook know to use my
new email address rather than my personal one?

If you don't want your personal mail going onto your employer's server, set
up a separate mail profile with a PST file that checks your personal mail.

Sorry but I'm thick regarding multiple accounts.

Under what (mistaken) settings could I have set up the second account
such that my employer does receive my person sent or receive email.

Sorry if I sound paranoid but I do not see any Outlook warnings
around regarding this matter

If you have both accounts set up in the same mail profile, all mail will be
delivered to the default delivery location, such as your Exchange server (if
you use Exchange) or your work PST file. If you set up a separate mail
profile for your personal mail, or use OE for it, it won't go into the main
PST file. If you are concerned with someone having access to your personal
mail, note that even doing this will still leave it on your network, and
hence accessible to your admins/boss/whomever. In that case, try using a
webmail client - if your ISP doesn't offer one, try www.mail2web.com
