Outlook 2003 Exchange - Popserver issue

[Andrew]

I have an exchange (work) account and a pop (personal) account that I
want to keep completely seperate, if I have the exchange account as
the default, all my pop mail goes through my exchange account. If I
have the pop account as the default, the mail stays seperate, but all
the rules show up on the exchange server. I want to keep the two
completely seperate, but view them in a single instance of outlook.
Is this possible? I have been searching for 2 weeks and have found no
good information.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Andy

It sounds like having two mail profiles, one for your work and one for your
personal mail, would work best. They'll be completely separate then.
You'll have to stop Outlook and restart it to switch between the two,
however.

Brian,

I was hoping for a more elegant solution, one that doesn't force me to
exit and login to a different profile. The way I have it now with the
pop account being default works except that it puts the rules on the
exchange server even though I have flagged them as client only.

Thanks for the help.

As long as you're using an Exchange account, Exchange will hold the rules.

Brian,

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I will stop trying to find a
solution to keeping everything seperate and just use two profiles.
