How do I set up 2 email accouts in Outlook 2000?

[Guest]

I have two separate email accounts for two separate companies.
I have researched everywhere I could think of and can't seem to find a way
to set up 2 different accounts in Outlook 2000.
I know this is possible as I had it set up this way when I worked for
another company.
If I remember correctly, it promted me with a choice between the two
accounts when I double clicked on Outlook.
Right now I'm using Outlook 2000 for my main email account and Outlook
Express for the other, but Express just doesn't have enough options. (ie.
calendar, tasks, etc)

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

What mode of OL2000 are you using? Check the second line here: Help menu >
About.

In Internet Mail Only mode you should be able to add an account here: Tools
menu > Accounts

In Corporate mode you should be able to add another Internet mail service
here: Tools menu > Services

Hi Vince-

I have Internet Mail Only Version of Outlook 2000.

I am able to add a second account under Tools > Accounts, but that doesn't
prompt me for which email account to log into when I open Outlook.

How do I distinquish between the two accounts that I've set up under Tools >
accounts?

Thanks again for your help,
Jarrad

All your mail goes into the same set of folders so you don't 'log into' a
mail account per se'

But then when I reply to a message it will only send it from one of the two
specific email accounts, right?
ie. how does it know to distinguish between the two accounts?

Thanks again!

Replies get sent via the same account that received the original item (if I
remember right about IMO mode in OL2000).
