Multiple Accounts/Multiple Folders

[Magus]

I have Outlook 2003, works fine.

I have been using the Bellsouth account I got with my DSL service.

But I recently got a second email for business use. The problem is that it
puts the messages from each different account into the same folder. Is there
a way to have it put data from one account into one .pst, and the data from
another into another .pst? So far, I've had to switch the default to a
different pst, then send/recive only for that account, then switch the
default again, and have it send/recive the other. But that takes too much
time, and I'd like for it to do it by itself. Does anybody know how?

You may have better luck asking this in one of the
Outlook groups. This one is for OneNote.

Having said that, you should look at the Rules Wizard
(Tools | Rules and Alerts), which can move messages from
one location into another. I have about 10 POP email
accounts whose messages first get downloaded into
the "default" PST and then get immediately moved by the
Rules Wizard into separate folders.

Set up Search folders to 'filter' the accounts - it'll allow the junk mail
filter to work correctly on any spam you receive.
