How can I set up outlook to deal with each email account seperatel

[Guest]

I hate "Rules and Alerts". I use Outlook for different email addresses and I
want to manage them seperately. So if an email is sent to X1 email account, I
want it to go in that account inbox. If I have an X2 email account folder
selected and I decide to send a new email I want it to deposit the sent
version in that folder's sent folder and to send the email from the X2 email
address.

Why is that so hard?? Doesn't Microsoft has tons of brains?

If a microsoft product can't do it, and you know some other product that
can, please let me know about it?

For Outlook 2003 and earlier, use separate mail profiles. Otherwise, wait
for Outlook 2007, which will have per-account PST delivery.

Umm Outlook is designed primarily as a BUSINESS application connected to
Exchange Server, where it is highly unusual for anyone to have more than one
email address.......

Mozilla Thunderbird gives you the choice.
