Setting up new accounts in Outlook 2007

[hwince]

On my home computer running under WIN XP, I am currently using Outlook
Express with multiple e-mail accounts (POP3) at the same ISP. I am
trying to set up new accounts on WIN Outlook 2007 on my Vista home
computer. When I use the Outlook account setup wizard, it seems not to
be able to find my e-mail account/ISP. I have very carefully entered
the e-mail address and password in the wizard. Am I missing something
or is manually setting up the accounts the only other option?

It seems that Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 can't find the settings
automatically for your mail server. The only option that you can do is to
manually configure the server settings (POP3 & SMTP) for your e-mail.

Thank you, Chester,
Yes, I have now manually set up multiple accounts in Outlook 2007 and
have set each account separately in its own "group" for send/receive
messages. But, how do I select an individual account so that I am only
looking at the e-mail messages sent/received pertaining to that
account? Right now it appears that all the messages from ALL accounts
are there. Henry

If you want the mail from each account to be in separate mail boxes you can
do it 2 ways - 1 by creating a rule, 2 in the account setup in 2007 in lower
left you can change the folder

Thanks, Neil,
But, I'm still having trouble. I go to Rules and I don't see any
option related to separation of messages for multiple accounts. When I
look in the lower left corner of Outlook, all I see are selections for
Mail, Calendar, Tasks, etc. Selecting either of these also does not
appear to have the "separation" option. Now, Outlook opens into
Outlook Today. I have Account A, Account B, Account C and Account D.
Normally, I would like to open Outlook in Account A so that I see only
messages relating to it. Then, I want the option that when I want to I
can select one of the other Accounts and see only the messages
relating to that Account. Is the procedure to achieve this explained
in Outlook Help? Or some place else?

By default, all of your POP accounts will use a single set of folders. You
can use rules to sort the incoming mail, you can use Outlook 2007's ability
to delivery different accounts' incoming messages to differnt folders, our
you can use separate mail profiles for each account, which will give you
separate folders (mail, calendar, tasks, etc.) for each account. In this
latst case, though, you'd have to stop and restart Outlook to switch
profiles.
