Exchange and POP3 in same profile?

[David]

Outlook 2003.

Just curious, can you setup a POP3 email account with a PST file and an
Exchange Server account and have them both coexist in same Outlook profile
operating as follows: POP3 mail delivered to PST and replies come from your
POP3 account email address (different from Exchange address), *and* Exchange
account email delivered to the Exchange mailbox and when replying the
Exchange email address is used?

You can do this, but you'll need either rules to move messages or separate
profiles for each service. You can use both account types in a single
Outlook profile, however, you'll have a common storage location for both,
either your local .PST or your Exchange Server Mailbox. As such, you'll
need to make some rules to move, for example, your POP messages from your
Exchange Mailbox to your local .PST. To have everything delivered to the
correct place to start with, you'll need separate Outlook profiles; this
will give you the .PST as the default for the POP account and the Mailbox
for the Exchange account. The disadvantage here is that you must exit and
restart Outlook to change profiles. Generally, Outlook will reply using the
account a given message was received from.
