Outlook email setup

I have a laptop computer which I use for work and at home.
I am using Outlook 2002 for my email. Can I setup one In-
Box using my works smtp (mail.starfieldtech.com) & my home
smtp (mail.optonline.net)? If I setup 2 different profiles
one for work & one for home my work in-box has all my
emails in it and when I sign on with my home account my in-
box is empty. It works this way but I only want one In-box.
Ant suggestions?

If you have a single profile, then all of your mail from all of your
accounts with that profile will flow into a single Inbox.

That is true Brian. I'm sorry I did not mention I had
tried that in my orginal post. But that problem was when I
am at work with one profile but 2 different smtp accounts
Outlook will try and send/receive and will get errors on
the smtp account I am not on. So, I believe I do want to
setup one profile but I am looking for a way to turn off
the smtp account from home when I am at work or turn off
my work smtp account when I am at home. In Outlook Express
there is a setting not go activate an account but Outlook
does not have that setting (is that true?) I need to use
Outlook for work it has a great calendar & the Tasks or
Notes options I use a lot.

No, it's not true. Outlook has what are called Send/Receive Groups, which
are collections of accounts Outlook will utilize during a send/receive
cycle. You can tell Outlook to exclude the home account or work account as
you wish.
