After furious head scratching, JCO asked:
| Okay, maybe its called something else... but does the same thing (or
| has the same effect). I know I've done this before for a friend.
| Sorry if there's any confusion.
|
| There is a way... so that when you click the outlook icon, a dialog
| comes up and asks which account to use. This is handy if you have
| multiple users on one computer or if one person needs to access one
| account at a time.

|| ||| I'm no expert but I've messed with some of this before.
||| You have to ask yourself some questions first.
||| Do you have multiple users (different people) using this computer?
||| If not, then you can set up multiple accounts under one user (you).
|||
||| You can have multiple email accounts on outlook and get all mails
||| from each account at the same time. This is done by simply adding
||| a new account. Once set up, you can define rules (on each account)
||| that steer the emails to particular folders.
|||
||| The other option is to add an "Identity". The first one is created
||| automatically by default when you create your logon. By adding
||| another "Identity", outlook will not get all mails at the same
||| time. Instead, when you bring up outlook, you will get a dialog
||| that will ask which identity to load. Only that identity will
||| download the mail.
|||
||| You can also use a combination. Two identities defines two
||| different people logging on the computer. Identity one can have
||| one email account while identity two has 5 emails accounts.
|||
||| You just need to read up on Identities.

||| |||| I use a number of email names, all at cockaigne.d.c.u. I have been
|||| using Turnpike but cannot continue for various reasons, and want to
|||| use Outlook 2000 which is also on my machine. How can I make sure
|||| everything@cockaigne etc is downloaded, and can I use the different
|||| names to send? And can I route mails using different names to
|||| different folders? I've tried the help but cannot find answers to
|||| these questions. Please help, am desperate after megacrash!
