Okay, I'm beginning to see a possible solution. (Why I 'know' I need/want
multiple profiles to follow)
So it's confirmed you can't have multiple Outlook boxes
You mean "profiles", I think.
running concurently,
but you can configure to 'one' box
One profile.
to check multiple email addresses from
same ISP,
There is no requirement for them to be from the same ISP.
The only real restriction is that you can connect to only one Exchange
server per profile, but it doesn't sound like this applies to you.
somewhere in Tools/ send receive.
Set up the accounts, under Tools, Accounts, and when done press F9 to check
all of them at once. Or tools, Send and Receive if you want to check only
a specific account. Or click Send and Recieve.
Now that might get a bit complicated.
Actually, it isn't. It's pretty easy. You may be trying to over-complicate
it.
It doesn't let you have Inbox personal
and Inbox business. perhaps one folder 'business' woth all of it's sub
folders.
You can do this with rules. As mail comes in, it is examined and moved to
appropriate folders according to the rules.
Just be sure that at the end of the rule the moved messages are marked as
"unread", or you won't know that new messages arrived in one folder or
another.
You see my personal , non business email has many folders.
As do many people's. Use Rules to separate them.
Every online Bill
goes into the Bills folder. Toastmaster, soccer ref have their own
'inboxes'.
companies I own shares in, or watching go into Invest autmatically. At any
time their could be important emails that I don't see when logged into my
business email address.
This account profile identity, whatever its called has many folders for
Incoming.
for instance prosects goes into Clients, confirmed Clients get their own
'Inboxes'.
Their is a Lender 'inbox' and preferred lenders have their own 'inbox.
Same
with Lawyers appraisers.
Again, if I have the Personal box open, there could be important business.
That;s why I have always wished I could have them both open at the same
time.
And you can, in one profile. And you can check them all with one keystroke
or one mouse click.
Now, combining them in Tools might be very confusing, but I will eplore
that.
It would probably help you to sit down with someone who uses Outlook with
multiple accounts and can show you their setup.
I suspect that if you could actually see what happens, a lot of your
questions would vanish.
Even if I could have InboxA and InboxB, with all the folders kept
seperately, that would be almost as good as seperate boxes. *** Once I
get
the details of how to check them both simultaneously, something to do with
Tools/rules,
Press F9, the shortcut for Send/Receive All. The rules will run and you
will then look in the various folders.
HTH
-pk
if I could leave my personal as is , create one Folder called
Business for my work email, then have a seperate 'tree' for all my work
emails that seems okay, but it might get messy with both 'trees' in one
box.
As I said in an earlier message, you can use multiple E-mail (POP3)
accounts at once, not multiple profiles.
Why do you think you need/want multiple profiles? As I noted in my
original message, you can create separate folders for your personal
and business addresses, and write simple Outlook rules to move
incoming messages to the appropriate folder. That effectively gives
you two "inboxes," one for each account.
