2 seperate inboxes--Can't get it!!

[jcardinal]

I am using Outlook 2003 w/ XP and cannot seem to create two download emails
for one of two different accounts. Both accounts are different domain names,
but I hate to have Outlook only download one domain and then going to the
internet to look at the other one (Netzero.)

I added the Netzero account in Email Accounts w/ the correct POP3/SMTP
names, but none of the Netzero emails will download to my inbox. I hit "Test
Settings" in the "Email Accounts" window, and all is good with green
checkmarks. Unfortunately I still see all the same stuff I did in my left
hand navigation pane and inbox; like I never even set up the Netzero account.

I don't care if all the Netzero and the other domain emails come together,
b/c I'll create a rule to separate those into another folder, but the issue
is I just can't get any Netzero emails to show up. I could've sworn long ago
this worked but removed it b/c I didn't use that Netzero as much; well now I
do and I would like to consolidate again.

Can anyone help?

A POP3 account will download to your default message store so you won't see
any additional folders showing up.
Do you get any send/receive errors?
Did the test email arrive? (in both your web based mailbox and in Outlook)

No I didn't receive any error, like I said, all green checkmarks and I have
not received the test email for the Netzero, only for the other domain. So
one works and downloads but the Netzero still has nothing.

AHHA!! I found out why Netzero and possibly other emails won't send to
Outlook! After searching on Netzero help, something I should have done
first, they state unless you have their upgraded versions 3G or MegaMail you
cannot use another POP3 program like Outlook or Thunderbird. And of course
the upgrades are costly.

So I found out that Gmail does this for free and I am switching over my
email and contacts to Gmail. Not a quick fix, but the only solution to
circumvent a company's policy such as Netzero.

Good luck all who read this.
