Outlook 2007 and multiple accounts

[Flick Olmsford]

I have a user who has email from 2 different ISP's. One handles personal
mail and the other is for work email. If she logs into her computer under
one login, can Outlook 2007 be setup to keep the email accounts separate or
will they be mixed.

Would she need to have 2 logins to the computer, and setup Outlook for the
two different accounts, one Windows user account for each email account.

Thanks

They'll be mixed

Only one login to the computer, but two different Outlook profiles, one for
each account and each with it's own .PST storage file. Note that you can
have both .PST files available in each Outlook profile, one will be the
default delivery location t for one profile, the other the default for the
second profile. This way, email will always go to the correct .PST, but
both are availble for reference.

With Outlook 2007, you can have each account deliver to a separate folder.
