My 2 Outlook 2003 profiles download both sets of messages

I am running Outlook 2003 on MS XP. Have used one profile for years with no
probem. Just added a new profile for my business email and I'm set up to ask
for which profile to use each time.

No matter which profile I use, incoming message from both email accounts are
downloaded into the current persona folder's inbox. My business messages and
home messages are now pretty mixed up.

Have double and triple checked my settings in each profile and don't see any
errors. When I run the "test settings" that part works fine. Have contacted
my ISP but they find no errors there.

Any ideas? I'd really like to use Outlook for both email accounts. Also,
when I try to create new messages, there are no contacts listed when I go out
to "TO" in order to select my contacts. Please HELP!

This means one of three things: 1) One of your email addresses is an alias of
the other and so messages addresses to either are placed in the same mailbox,
2) you have both accounts defined in Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next, or 3) you are
forwarding one of the addresses to the others mailbox so you are devolving to
case 1).
