I have created separate profiles for each account but I still get all
of my email downloaded to the profile I open first,.
This indicates that your two addresses are sharing a single mailbox on your
mail server. I'd wager you use the same username/password for the POP
server in each account.
Since both "accounts" reference the same mailbox, Outlook can't tell them
apart. When it connects to the server to get mail, the server simply tells
Outlook about all the mail in the mailbox regardless of what address
received it and Outlook dutifully downloads it all.
Instead of a rule that sorts by receiving account, use a rule that sorts by
meassage header.
I have not had this problem in the past but I recently had to
reinstall Outlook 2003 due to a crash of my OS. Before that happened, I
would get my Personal emails under my "personal" profile and my Business
emails under my "business" profile without creating folders or using rules
to
direct their destination.
Don't you keep records of how you configure the applications you install on
your PC so as to recover from just such an event?
