Setting up different Inboxes for different e-mail accounts in Outl

[Guest]

I have two e-mail accounts, an earthlink and a hotmail. I would like to keep the respective incoming messages in my Outlook 2000 separate by directing them into two Inboxes. At this time messages from both servers are being directed into one Inbox only. I cannot find any information on doing this. Can anyone help?

Microsoft's newserver must have had trouble today.

One profile one Inbox. That cannot be changed. If you want two seperate Inboxes you'll need two seperate profiles. And you can only access one profile at a time. That is a MAPI issue.

Can we have seperate timings for checking mails for different inboxes?
Something like - 1 account checks for new msgs every 1 hr and the
other account checks every 5 mins? I'm using Outlook 2003.

Praks, yes. Tools > Send/Receive > Send/Receive Settings > Define
Send/Receive Groups. Create a group and specify which account(s) to include
in it. Then specify the send/receive intervals.

Thomas, as George Hester pointed out, you'll need to create separate
profiles for your accounts.

As an alternative (in Outlook 2003, at least; don't know if it's available
in earlier versions), you can create a rule (Tools > Rules and Alerts)that
directs mail to a specific folder depending on the account. In Ol2003, it's
"check messages when they arrive...through the specified account..."
