Outlook should allow using two hotmail accounts

B

Brian Link

Initially, Outlook will allow using two hotmail accounts at once, and will
display the accounts separately showing their unique folders and emails, but
after a while it stops treating them separately and my two hotmail accounts
(even though named differently) revert to showing the first of the two
hotmail accounts in both of the folders. My second hotmail account starts
showing the first hotmail account instead. This happens in Outlook Express
as well - I was hoping Outlook might be a little smarter, but they both seem
to have the same problem. I can't tell how long or what it is that makes
them revert and lose the second account, but when I close Outlook and
restart, they both appear uniquely again.

It's not Outlook, it's Hotmail. They did something that prevents OE or OL
from using more than one account in a profile.

BTW, by next spring, only paid accounts will be able to use OE or OL for
hotmail.
