Two Accounts

[Don Bouchard]

I have used outlook for about 3 years--currently Outlook 2007 with Windows
Vista Home Premium.

My wife, after several years. has given in to our adult children's prodding,
and she would now like to send and receive emails. I have obtained a
separate email URL for her from my ISP, so is it possible to establish a
separate account using Outlook 2007 that would allow her to receive her mail
separately from mine--an account where she wouldn't receive my emails and I
wouldn't receive hers?

Certainly is:

Go to control panel>mail and then click on profiles.

It's all downhill from there.

Is it actually a separate email address, or is it just an alias of yours?
Does her email address use the same username and password log-on as you?
The reason for wanting to know this, is that the procedure is different if
it is an alias.

Especially if the second account is an ALIAS.......(which many are these
days......)

Don, assuming you're like my wife and I in ATT ISP, setup the New Email acct
per Control Panel/Profiles/Email Accts/Add a New Email Acct;

In Outlook, hi-light the Personal Folders name in Nav Pane Folder List/then
File/New/Folder/name it (ie) Inbox -Mary;

Outlook Tools/Rules and Alerts/make a rule that emails sent to your wife's
address are routed to the name of the new Inbox Folder you made for her;

When she composes an email, there'll be an Accounts drop-dn menu next to
Send/Clk arrow and she'll Select her name so the email sent will reflect that
it's from her - not you (as the Default acct name) - Works great.

You'll have to ask your ISP if your mailboxes are separate or aliases of
each other and whether or not her mailbox allows POP access. If it does,
set her account up the same way you set yours up. If you both use the same
PC, I'd recommend separate WIndows usernames for each of you. That way your
mail and hers will be completely separate.
