Outlook should allow me to set mail delivery store per account

When configuring Outlook's Email accounts it should allow the user to specify
the location/store where emails from/to said account should be
delivered/saved to.

Let's assume I use a corporate and private email account and would like
separate stores for each on my laptop. At the moment I need separate mail
profiles as all mail is delivered to one store only. If I could configure
each account separately I could simply select the account when sending mail
(indicating outbox, sent items, etc) and the rest would be preconfigured
(inbox, etc).

I know this can already sort of be done by using rules, but it's not a very
intuitive thing to do and sent items can only be copied, not moved.

Hi,
so you want to use two profiles simultaniously without switching?

Not exactly, but very similar. I want a single profile containing multiple
email accounts. I then want each of these email accounts to use the default
or user-specified delivery location. I can already specify different
signatures, etc per email account. The merits of being able to customise all
settings (fonts, etc) per email account is something worthwhile debating, but
not as part of this suggestion.
