Hi,
I have recently started using Outlook 2003 after years with Netscape
mail. Currently I am banging my head against something as silly as
maintaining two mail accounts inside one profile.
Here it is:
I run Business A and Business B.
I can set up two datafiles (PST), one for each business, so far, so
good.
What I want is mail to Business A to automatically land in Business A's
in-box, and mail to Business B to automatically land in Business B's
in-box respectively.
This can be achieved using rules.
The real problem arises when sending mail. Of course I want mail from
Business A to be stored in the "Sent items" for Business A, and mail
from Business B stored in the "Sent items" for Business B.
I have not managed to do this using rules, solution wanted!
Furthermore, I have not found a straight forward way to just right
click the Business A area and send a mail from Business A. When using
the common send button on the toolbar, I must ensure that the sender is
either Business A or Business B.
This will sooner or later fail, so that the recipient gets a mail from
Business B while he definitely should see Business A as the sender.
Besides of that, it is way to cumbersome.
Now, I can use one profile for each business.
This is however the wrong answer. I need one single profile because I
cannot split myself in two persons, I need ONE calendar, ONE set of
appointments, even if I maintain and run two businesses. Besides of
that, I need Outlook monitoring mail traffic continuously, so two
profiles won't work since Outlook has to be restarted for each profile.
Am I plain stupid, overlooking something essential here, or is this
high-end application (Outlook) not suited for people running more than
one business?
