Multiple Email Accounts in Outlook 2007

[Craig]

I have 2 email accounts that I have set up for me to view/read in Outlook.
Both accounts are coming into the same inbox and I can't differentiate which
ones are going to which email account. Any ideas on how to have two inboxes?
Thanks

You can create another folder and name it "Inbox #2", or whatever you want.
Then create a rule that sends all your mail from one account to your new
"Inbox #2". Or you could just apply categories to each email account and
see your emails in one Inbox with color coding for each email.

In outlook 2007 you don't need to make a rule - you can designate a
different inbox folder for each account on the Tools-Email Accounts dialog
box....

That is not true in most cases. Some types of accounts will have their own
inboxes, such as Hotmail/Windows Live mail accounts used through the Outlook
Connector, but all POP3 accounts will receive messages through the Inbox of
the default message store and a rule will indeed be needed to move the
messages from there to other folders.

I have found responses already given are correct. The header tells you which
email account the message comes from. I once used GMail and AOL, the Inbox
were for both, but the "From:" said "@gmail.com" or "@aol.com". You can also
set up your Inboxes in the "Favorite Folders" section above the "Personal
Folders" section. It will display "Inbox" and "Inbox from MSN" seperately, if
you use MSN/Hotmail.

Nope - in Outlook 2007, there is an option on the Tools-Account
settings-Email tab to assign a different folder to each POP mail account -
it's at the bottom of the box and is marked "Change Folder" (once you have
highlighted the POP account...)
