Adding an Additional POP3 account?

[Rob]

I would like to add 2 POP3 accounts to my outlook XP. But
I dont want them to come into the same Inbox. Can I set
up Outlook to get both accounts in different inboxes and
contact/sent items/trash/etc? Is this possible?

Thanks,
Rob

All POP3 accounts have incoming messages aggregated the same local
message store (i.e., .pst file) so they go into the one Inbox. However,
you can define a rule that uses the "account" clause to detect through
which account the message was received and have that rule move it to
another folder. Alternatively, you can just right-click on the headers
to add the "E-Mail Account" column so you can see in the Inbox through
which account a message was received. If you want separate local
message stores then you will need to define multiple mail profiles (Mail
applet in Control Panel) and choose which one to use when you start
Outlook.
