Only three e-mail accounts (of six) appear

[Guest]

I have set up Outlook 2002 with several email addresses, 2AOL, MSN, two for
our work (College, edu) and gmail. The AOL and MSN accounts appear. The two
edu accounts pass the test message but do not appear ion the lisiting of
accounts. Help!!

By listing of accounts do you mean in the list of folders? Normal POP3 mail
accounts like GMail and your work accounts all feed into the standard set of
folders while IMAP & web mail (like AOL, MSN & Hotmail) get their own
message stores.

Hi,

I have a problem like this. I set up two accounts, one hotmail which does
fine and is on the bar at the left in outlook with it's own inbox. My problem
is that my pop3 doesn't display an inbox and I get the error "failed because
an object can't be found" when I click send/receive. It doesn't indicate
which object. What do I do to be able to see this pop3 inbox or at least
access that mail? Also, it will default to the pop3 box and allow composing
of mail, but won't send any. It only saves the mail for later sending and
then gives the object can't be found message when send is attempted.

thanks,

When I look at the side bar (outlook Shortcuts) the two IMAP accounts (AOL)
appear. The Folder list contains these two accounts and MSN Mailbox but not
the two ".edu" accounts or GMail. The only other items in folder list are
"Archive Folders" and "Outlook Today [Personal Folders]". Where does the mail
from the edu and gmail accounts hid ? Thanks

In the Outlook Today folders. IMAP and HTTP accounts get their own folder
sets. Outlook uses then to cache the contents of the mail server because,
for IMAP and HTTP accounts, the data stays on the server. The caching makes
performance a little better than having to look across the network all the
time.

POP accounts, on the other hand, all share the delivery location (Outlook
Today) folders.
