Mulitple Exchange Accounts, Multiple Inboxes and Mail Delivery

[Greg Wilkerson]

I have a question for you Outlook guru's. I'm using Windows Vista
Ultimate and Outlook 2003. I am an independent consultant and have
many clients. I have the ability to connect to many of my client's
exchange servers while off-site. I can configure outlook to hook into
all the exhange servers, plus my ISP mail accounts. What I am trying
to figure out is how to get each of the different connections to go to
its own inbox, and send from the connection associated with that inbox
(i.e. replying to an email as if I were on-site). If I configure all
those accounts in outlook now, they all go to one inbox and any
replies come from (I suppose) my default inbox email address.

I can experiment around with this some, but I need to be careful not
to junk up one inbox with another client's messages.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Greg Wilkerson

You can only make 1 Exchange Account type connection from within a single
mail profile so I assume you use POP3 to connect to those Exchange servers
instead?

See http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/sortmail.htm

In your case I would recommend upgrading to Outlook 2007 as it is much more
flexible and easy in separating accounts.

Thanks for the reply.

So, you're saying the Outlook 2007 will definitelyl accommodate this?
That would be nice and worth the $. If not, I'll just stay with what
I have for a while longer. I'm on a tight budget.

Thanks,

Yes, as I mentioned in my article as well, you can dedicate a pst-file to
each POP3 account in Outlook 2007. Each will then have its own set of mail
folders where email for this account gets handled automagically without any
rules to configure;
-Deleted Items
-Inbox
-Junk E-mail
-Outbox
-Sent Items
-Search Folders
