I use two different email addresses in Outlook 2003, personal and business,
and would like to sort them as they come into my inbox. Is there a way to do
so by either color, folder or other means? Any help would be great!
 
You can create serveral folders then set up some rules in Rules and Alerts to
filter them.

For example, your e-mail addresses are (e-mail address removed) and
(e-mail address removed). Then you can create two folders called 'Business' and
'Personal'.

Then in Outlook:

- First create the folders from File > New > Folder
- Go to Tools > Rule and Alerts
- Click New Rule
- Choose Start from a blank rule on the top of the Rules Wizard window.
- Highlight by clicking Check messages when they arrive, then click Next.
- From the list of Select condition(s), check the checkbox besides 'with
specific word in the recipient's address'.
- Then in the Step 2 box, click the varible 'specific words' (in different
colour and underlined) to modify it.
- Type a unique character from your e-mail addresses so that Outlook can
distinguish them. For example, type 'work' for business mails and 'personal'
for personal mails.
- Click Add, OK then Next.
- In the Step 1 list, check the checkbox besides 'move it to the specified
folder'.
- In the list in Step 2, click the varible of 'specified' to modify it.
- Choose the folder where you want to messages to be moved to. For example,
click Business for your business mail and Personal for your personal mail.
- Click OK, then Finish.

Afterwards, repeat the steps to create another rule to manage the mails of
the another account.

Easy method: Click on your Tools menu and choose Organize. Then click on
"Using Colors". You can set up each account's messages to appear in
different colors in your Inbox.

Slightly harder method: You can create a folder for the second account and
create a rule to move incoming messages addressed to that account to the
newly created folder.
