Two E-mail Accounts on Same Computer

[Dave In Las Vegas]

My wife and I have seperate e-mail accounts. They are both with Comcast but
with different names. When I added the technical information for both
accounts to Outlook 2003 (via Tools and account setting) it merged both of
our incoming e-mails, I haven't been able throught Outlook Tools to figure
out how to seperate new incoming e-mails into separate groups. I'm sure this
is doable, I just don't know how.

Can someone help me?

If the accounts are truly individual, set up a seperate profile for each,
that way all data will be completely individual.
Otherwise use rules to move mail to folders that you set up

You defined 2 POP3 accounts in Outlook AND within the same mail profile
AND under the same Windows account. Outlook will merge all POP3 and
Exchange accounts into the same message store. That means all POP3
accounts in the same mail profile under the same Windows account will
have their e-mails merged together in the same set of personal folders
for that one message store.

Solutions would be:
- Use separate mail profiles for each user. Use the Mail applet in
Control Panel. This means specifying which mail profile to load when
you start Outlook to identify which mail profile to use during that
Outlook session.
- Use rules to slice apart the e-mails sharing the same mail profile so
they get moved into separate folders. This means all users that are
sharing the mail profile can see each others e-mails.
- Use separate Windows accounts. Have each user log into Windows using
their own username. Their mail profile will be under their own Windows
profile and kept separate of the mail profiles for the Windows accounts
of other users.
