Outlook problem please help! dual email accounts


Ha3el

Recommended Posts

I have mail from 2 different email accounts being delivered to my outlook (2002 – vers10?? Running on XP sp2)

 

What I wanted to do was have the email from the 2nd account going into a separate folder rather than it all being mixed together in the same inbox to save confusion - first account is personal mail and secondary one will be business mail. I have created a new outlook data file to deliver the other emails to. There are now two files and subsequently two sets of Inbox, Outbox etc etc which is what I wanted but all of the mail is being deliver to the one inbox still. In the section where I added the extra data file (Tools > Options > mail setup tab > e-mail accounts > ‘view or change existing email accounts’ ), there is an option deliver new email to the following location. Both locations are listed but only one can be chosen (I had thought would be able to specify it for each account). However, when I go into the ‘data files’ options from the ‘mail setup’ tab mentioned above it suggests that each account will store its mail it the respective folders as I wanted it to do. Prob is when I sent test mail to each email address it always still delivers it to the same inbox and always from the same original email account unless actually replying to a mail sent to the secondary account.

 

Does anyone know how to solve this so that mail sent to each address will be delivered to a separate folder??? It must be possible otherwise why would it let me set up additional folders and have twin sets of inboxes etc! :huh: Any help would be really appreciated!

 

Thanks
