How many accounts can I show in Outlook (2003)?

[Susan Cannon]

I have finally set up my Outlook 2003 to retrieve all my different internet
email accounts - AOL, Gmail, hotmail, etc. I have a total of 8 accounts
defined. They have all tested okay.

However, in the navigation pane on the left, only 4 accounts show up. How do
I get the other 4 to appear, so that I can check mail in those other
accounts? Is there a limit to the number of acounts that I can show?

Thanks....

The navigation pane really only shows message stores (PST files, Exchange
mailboxes, IMAP mailboxes, etc). Typically all POP3 Internet mail accounts
feed into one set of Personal Folders so no matter how many of those
accounts you've got, you'll normally only see one set of folders. Things
like AOL & Gmail might be using IMAP so each gets their own set of folders.
Hotmail, I think, acts similarly.
