Yes. You can have one Outlook*profile* open at a time. You can have
multiple
e-mail accounts in an Outlook profile, although only one Exchange account.

Wrong. I, for example, have three POP3 accounts, all set to check for
and receive mail sent to them every 15 minutes

If Ken Blake is correct, how do you have 2 accounts, or I guess they are
called profiles, on your desktop at the same time?

You misunderstand the answers, which actually agree with each other: You
can, yes, have more than one email account up at one time.

You can only have one *profile* active at a time, but one profile can
contain several email accounts.

In Outlook, incoming mail all arrives at the same inbox, and that is
totally separate from whatever Outlook Express is doing at the moment.

In OE, you can also have several mail accounts one one identity, but they go
to separate inboxes.

If Lanwench is correct, is it possible to have an Outlook profile running
at
the same time as an Express identity?

Absolutely. I do this on a daily basis.

I am wondering if there would be a
conflict of configuring two email addresses from my ISP, one on Outlook,
and
one on Express;

This is not a problem at all. There's no interaction between the two. I
use this arrangement on my laptop.

then if the whole 'default' would not not allow them both on
the desk top at the same time.

They can be active, and sending and recieving at the same time. There's no
problem.

Anyway it's real annoying to have to log out of one account to check the
other. hmm I just thought of something that might work? Have my work email
profile running, and have a browser at the ISP's webmail page to be able
to
use both at the same time/?
(fingers crossed that Ken Blake can detail how he has multiple profiles
running. I sure hope he didn't think my question was if multiplae accounts
were possible!??)

You can't have multiple Outlook profiles running concurrently.

However, you can have one Outlook profile and an Outlook Express identity
active and running concurrently.

And both the profile and the identity can poll multiple email accounts.

So the short answer to your post title is that both are correct, and the
answers are consistent with each other. They are just expressed slightly
differently.
