Distinguish one e-mail account from another.

[LisaW]

This is merely a matter of appearance... I am running Outlook 2003 -I have
two e-mail accounts in my Outlook - one for business and one personal.
Is there a way to make one a different font, or background on one a different
color, so as to distinguish one account from the other quickly? Right now
both are
the typical Microsoft Blue border and sometimes it is confusing as to which
I have open unless I look at the title panel....thanks.

You could add the "Email Account" column to the view for the Inbox (or
whatever folder you are looking at). Right-click on the column row,
select Field Chooser, and add the "Email Account" field. Drag it to
whatever column position where you want it.
