can i add 2 SMTP servers for one single account ?
i mean that i'm using the outlook at home and at office and i have 2
diferent STMP servers, so i have created my account on outlook twice each
time with a diferent smtp. but this is giving me a kind of problem that is i
have 2 inbox for the same account so its downloading the same e-mail twice.
if there is a way to use more than one smtp on one account please let me
know and how to do it.

I think you are confused - smtp servers are used for SENDING mail, not
receiving.
Why have you created two accounts? just use the one account and set the smtp
server to authenticate.

No.

Then you've configured something incorrectly.
if there is a way to use more than
one smtp on one account please let me know and how to do it.

Instead define two accounts in tghe same mail profile. Configure your
send/receive group to download from only one of the two accounts. Wnen
sending, choose the correct account; the one whose configuration contains
the SMTP server you want to use.
