Set up in-boxes for personal & business e-mail?

[Mike Goodman]

I would like to set up an account in Outlook 2003 on my home computer to
capture my business-related mail off of my company's server. Ideally, I'd
like to have two in-box icons on the left panel, one for personal mail and
one for business, that I could toggle back and forth between. Is this
possible, or will I be forced to have both business and personal mail come
into the same inbox?

Thanks
Mike

It depends on what kind of servers you're connecting to -- IMAP, POP, or
Exchange.

I think it's POP. What's the difference?

A lot. IMAP and Exchange automatically keep their account info in separate
data stores. If all you have are POP accounts, then you'll need to use Rules
Wizard rules to put incoming messages in different folders.

Sue,

Could you just run me through the steps to set up separate POP account
folders using rules wizard?

Thanks,
Mike

Start with a blank rule to check messages when they arrive. Add the "through
the specified account" condition. For actions, use "move it to the specified
folder" (which you will need to create) and "stop processing more rules."
That's all there is to it. Repeat as needed.

set up a rule that when messages arrive from a specified
account it get moved to a specific fold - this will keep
them seperated......
