How do I receive email from multiple accounts in separate inboxes?

[Guest]

I have two email accounts that I operate through microsoft outlook, and I'd
like to organize my messages so that messages to one account are received in
one inbox and messages to the other account are delivered to a separate
inbox. How can I set this up?

Create the folders. Then define rules to move the mails from the Inbox
based on which account through they are received.

would be nice if sent email goes into the respective folders as well without
creating rules

Depends on the types of accounts. Although the OP never mentioned it, I
suspect all accounts are POP3 type of accounts. In Outlook, all POP3
accounts get aggregated into one message store hence all e-mails to those
POP3 accounts get yanked and put into the one set of personal folders. Each
IMAP account gets a separate message store so you get a different set of
folders for each IMAP account. Each HTTPmail account gets a separate
message store so you get a different set of folders for each HTTPmail
account. The OP never bothered to mention WHICH version of Outlook that she
uses, but I think they pretty much follow the above mechanisms regarding
message stores (except HTTPmail didn't become available until Outlook 2002
and later).

The OP asked how to separate their e-mail accounts (which are presumably all
POP3 accounts) into separate folders. Rules do that as the solution. You
could also use different mail profiles but having to exit Outlook to select
a different mail profile when it starts up is a pain in the arse. If you
want Microsoft to do it differently, send them feedback using their web form
on their web site. The question was HOW to do it now, not how it should be
done.

Maybe sending a wish to MS would help

there is a 3rd party application that also runs with OL2003 where you can
assigned a mail account to a folder, that is, using sending mail with that
particular folder when you start a new message from there. However, still have
to use rules for incoming and outgoing mail. Offhand I cannot remember the name
of the application since I am not running OL2003.

Maybe the next version will offer the feature of choosing the folder when using
a particular mailbox for incoming mail <eg>

Probably not and I would be very happy to keep it that way.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
reading.
