Outlook separate email boxes for different addresses as does expr.

[Guest]

I have multile email addresses. In outlook express you can choose switch in
the file menu and select the email address you wish to use, thereby sending
it from the email you wish to use for that recipient. When the emails are
received you switch for each email address when you click send/received to
check for incoming emails.

You don't not know which email account you are using because you can't
really tell by clicking accounts. You click, new, and then find the accounts
icon. Then you have either the pop-server with no number, then the server
with 1, 2 or 3 after it. Nothing identifying which email address it is. It
should show the email address exactly or there first part before the @ symbol
so you can tell.

When mail is received you should have to switch to the different email boxes
to receive them for each address. I removed the Outlook from my PC and put
the Express back on, even though I have Office 2003 for that computer too. I
haven't done it on my laptop because Outlook Express does not have the
calendar. Since Outook is supposed to be the full feature version, why is it
lacking in the multiple email accounts features?

Even if mail cannot be received in the separate mailboxes, at least it could
have it so you can identify which account you are sending mail out from I
can't remember which one is the popserver with no number, popserver with the
1, popserver with the 2 and popserver with the 3 after it. It is very
annoying and bothersome. I have sent email to people I don't want having a
particular address from that address. It has nothing to do with default, so
please don't say to set it as a default. I have the most often used one as a
default, I want to be able to identify the others easily when I click on one
for the account and be able to check for incoming with separate boxes for
each address, as is done with Outlook Express.

You can set whatever name you want to show after the "1", "2", or "3". Just
name your account the name you'd like to see.

When mail is received you should have to switch to the different
email boxes to receive them for each address.

You can if you want. Set up distinct mail profiles for each account.
Personally, I'd use one profile and rules that sort the mail to separate
folders based on receiving account.

I removed the Outlook

Outlook is not a "full featured" version of Outlook Express. The two apps
are completely distinct. And Outlook does support multiple accounts, just
not multiple identities as Outlook Express defines them.

Even if mail cannot be received in the separate mailboxes, at least
it could have it so you can identify which account you are sending
mail out from I can't remember which one is the popserver with no
number, popserver with the 1, popserver with the 2 and popserver with
the 3 after it.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Select one of your accounts and click
Change, then More Settings. On the General tab, enter in the "Mail Account"
field whatever you'd like to see on the Accounts button. Do that for each
of your accounts. Now, was that so hard?

It is very annoying and bothersome. I have sent email
to people I don't want having a particular address from that address.
It has nothing to do with default, so please don't say to set it as a
default. I have the most often used one as a default, I want to be

account and be able to check for incoming with separate boxes for

Perhaps when you come to realize that Outlook and Outlook Express are two
different products you;ll come to understand how they each work and how to
perform what you want within the constraints that each app supports.
