Hello

I am curently rolling out Outlook to 25 users on our network

In Netscape Messenger you can have an In-box for every email account you use. Is this possible in Outlook?

Sincerely

Johnathon
 
Each pst has one and only one Inbox. You can have many open pst. The trouble is you can have only one open MAPI profile at a time. Since there is a 1 to 1 relationship between a MAPI profile and an Inbox I suspect only one of the above Inboxes will behave as a bona fide Inbox at a time. In properties you can see that "Mail should be delivered to.." gives you only one choice at a time.

I use a configuration on my Outlook 2002 at home that utilizes several "inboxes". George is absolutely correct in that you can only select one inbox destination, but, you can designate inbox folders using the Rules option in Outlook.

1.Create multiple .pst files and logically name each .pst after each mail account.
2.In open the .pst in the Outlook folders view.
3.Create a folder structure under each personal folder view to "mirror" the standard Outlook folder structure (Inbox, Sent Items, Saved Items, etc)
4.Create a rule for each "inbox" that directs mail sent through any specific account to the designated inbox folder.

Note: If your computer has NT backup you can create a backup job for the folder you designated to contain your .pst's – I highly recommend this.

Using this method, you have effectively created an "inbox" for every mail account configured on your system, and have a backup volume for them as well.
