Working with multiple email accounts

[LAURIE CANTUS]

So, I have three email addresses configured on Outlook- one personal, and two business (one personal business, and one generic). I have a few questions.



First question:

On my email at work (not related to the aforementioned business emails), I have two inbox's - one for me, and I also have access to my boss's email. But, on Outlook at home, I can only have one inbox, and I had to configure my incoming mail to divert to separate folders for sorting. Is there any way to configure separate inbox's without being on a server, like at work?



Second question:

When someone sends me an email, no matter to which address, when I reply, it always replies "from" my personal email. I figured out how to view the "from" field, but when I sent a test message to a friend and filled in the "from" field with another email address, it said "from [personal email] on behalf of [business email1]". How can I tell Outlook to respond only "from" the email that was originally addressed? When I send emails from my business email, I don't want them to know my personal email, and I don't want my business email address to respond to personal emails.



Is there any way to effectively set up my Outlook so that it can function correctly in these situations? If not, does anyone have a suggestion other than having to resort to answering business emails via webmail?



My husband uses Gmail, so I guess I could look into that. I've heard that it does some pretty amazing things.



Thanks for your time!

1. No - the extra mailbox you have access to at work is configured from
Exchange, not Outlook.

2. Depending on your Outlook version (which you never stated), you can use
the Accounts dropdown to select the sending account.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without

questions…

First question:

have two inbox’s – one for me, and I also have access to my boss’s email.
But, on Outlook at home, I can only have one inbox, and I had to configure
my incoming mail to divert to separate folders for sorting. Is there any way
to configure separate inbox’s without being on a server, like at work?

Second question:

always replies “from” my personal email. I figured out how to view the
“from” field, but when I sent a test message to a friend and filled in the
“from” field with another email address, it said “from [personal email] on
behalf of [business email1]”. How can I tell Outlook to respond only “from”
the email that was originally addressed? When I send emails from my business
email, I don’t want them to know my personal email, and I don't want my
business email address to respond to personal emails.

correctly in these situations? If not, does anyone have a suggestion other
