Outlook Today not showing correct info on 2007 system with two acc

[Lucinda]

I have outlook 2007 on Vista with two email accounts, one microsoft exchange
connected to my office and one for earthlink. Before I connected to the
exchange system Outlook opened to Outlook Today showing the info from my
calendar and emails from my home calendar and earthlink emails. Now that I'm
connected to the exchange system it shows up in outlook today and I can't
find a way to either merge the two in outlook today or have it just show my
home email and calendar which is what I really want to show up in outlook
today.

How can I force Outlook to use my "personal folder" inbox info for outlook
today and not the "mailbox" info?

Thanks.

If you're connected to Exchange, then you I suggest that you should be using
Exchange as the delivery location in one mail profile and your PST as the
delivery location in a second mail profile so that the two environments
don't mix. The the Outlook Today page of one profile will reflect the
Exchnage mailbox and the Outlook Today page of the other profile will
reflect your personal data.

If you want to use a single profile, the you'll have to choose your delivery
location as either the Exchange server or your PST. If you want the
delivery location to be the Exchange server, then your personal mail will
load there as well. You should be able to add mail folders from the PST to
the Outlook Today page with the Customize Outlook Today button, but no
calendar or task data.

If you want to use your personal folders as the delivery location, both your
company mail from the Exchange server and your personal mail will be
delivered to the PST. This will, of course, suck your work mail (and
calendar and tasks, and...) from the Exchange server and remove it from that
location, making it available only on your local PC, unless you wish to
connect to Exchange via IMAP or POP, in which case you can leave the mail on
the server, but you won't have access to any mailbox folders other than mail
folders (for IMAP) or just the Inbox (for POP).

Did you notice the little "Customize Outlook Today" button on the upper right
corner?
Press it and use the "Choose Folders" button...
