Two (2) separate email accounts, same person

[MSPJeff]

I have two separate email accounts; different names, different domains,
different providers. I want to use Outlook 2003 as my "mail reader" for both
accounts, and I want two separate sets of Inbox, Sent Mail, Outbox, &c.
folders. When I'm responding to email that's come in to one Inbox, I want to
be able to specify who the response is "From:" by choosing one of my two
account names, not a pre-existing name in my Address Book.

How can I set this up with Outlook? I've been able to discover how to get
Outlook to recognize my separate accounts, but I can't get Outlook to
<b>organize the mailboxes</b> to display separately; everything appears
beneath Personal Folders, with one Inbox collecting for both accounts.

I have a feeling Outlook is so sophisticated I can't see how to do something
so simple. Would you help? Many, many thanks!

Depends on what kind of accounts you are using.

They're both POP3 accounts.

I saw another post directing users here:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm
but that creates a separate profile, which then appears to cause Outlook to
ask you WHICH profile you want to open each time you start Outlook.

I'd like Outlook to start, then display the Inbox contents from both POP3
accounts.

Is that what you were referring to when you responded?

Yep, than you can use a combination of rules, views categories and Search
Folders to sort your mail.

For instance use a rule to move mail send to a certain account to a
different folder to sort and use an Unread Mail Folder to easily deal with
new mail.

You can use the Accounts button next to the Send button to specify the
account you want to use.
