Multiple E-Mail Addresses On One Account: Identities

[TC]

A question: my ISP (Earthlink) provides me with eight e-mail addresses
for my account. I use one address for personal mail, another for
business, etc.

I'd like to set up each of these e-mail addresses as a separate
identity, but don't see how to do that (it appears that the identities
are linked to the ISP).

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express? Outlook uses profiles, not
identities. If you are using Outlook Express, post in an Outlook Express
news group.

I'm using Outlook (pardon me for picking up a wrong terminology from
other posts in this group).

So?

Hi TC,
I'll try and give you a clue. This is what I do, but it's a long time ago
that I set it up...
Under "Inbox" you can create one folder per "identity" (wrong word, I know,
but you know what I mean...)
Then under Tools / Rules Wizard (I think -- sorry, I use a non-English
version of Outlook) you can set up rules so that, for example, mails
arriving at the (e-mail address removed) account land in the "Steve" folder, and mails
to (e-mail address removed) land in the "Sally" folder.

When you send, you can define which "identity" is sending the mail with the
drop-down menu at the right-hand side of the "Send" button.

HTH
