How can you maintain multiple addresses in one profile?

I have two email accounts I maintain. Simply put, I would like to use MSO
2k3 similar to how I used Netscape. That is, each address with its own
inbox/outbox/sent items/deleted items, but in the same profile. Is that
possible? I thought it used to be in older versions. Do I have to revert to
an older version, and if so, is there any reason I should not?
 
it never worked that way in older versions unless you used imap accounts.
You can use rules to move messages to other folders or use separate
profiles.
 
I have the structure set up on my PDA as such (PPC 2k3 w/ Pocket Outlook).
Is there a way to just mimic that?

You can use separate profiles or add psts and use rules to move messages,
otherwise, no.

Diane ... I have a question similar to Banker Joe's, and I hope you may be
able to help or direct me to a resource. I've been using Outlook Express for
years, and have been advised that Outlook not only has more features and
options, but is also more secure, handles spam better, etc. In OE, I could
easily send mail from any of my three email accounts simply by hovering over
the From line and scrolling to the email account from which I wanted to send
mail. Outlook has no From line that I can find, and it sends all messages
from one account (unless it's a reply to one of the other addresses). I need
to be able to send from any of my three accounts, but I can't seem to find
anything in the Outlook tools or in my manual or anywhere else that tells me
how to do this. A friend was kind enough to send instructions on how to do
it in OE 2003, but 2000 is different, and some of the tabs to which my friend
alluded do not exist in 2000. Can you please help, or advise where I might
turn for assistance? I'm not at all happy that Microsoft wants me to pay $35
to answer this question, even though this program was not installed as OE on
my machine. Thanks in advance for any guidance you might be able to provide.
Regards,
Felix

Outlook 2000 in Internet mode (see help, about) uses the Send Using button -
corp. mode does not support easily switching accounts.

Do you need the extra features - calendar, contacts, tasks, etc - in
Outlook? If not, stick with OE - the current version (6) of OE is every bit
as secure as Outlook 2000 - actually, probably a lot more secure. Unless you
are going to upgrade to Office/Outlook 2003 you won't have better antispam
or more security in Outlook.

If you need the extra features in Outlook, then upgrade to 2003 - if you own
office, we don't recommend only upgrading Outlook and should upgrade the
entire suite for best results.

Thanks very much for your informative reply. I will continue to use OE,
which suits me fine. One last question: how can I turn off Outlook so it
doesn't run in the background? Right now, I don't have to start Outlook for
it to notify me when it receives a message. I get a notification even if I
don't have the program open. Thanks again!

Something is keeping it in memory by the sounds of it - look in task manager
and force the outlook.exe process to close. It should remain closed unless
you open it again.

Outlook must be running if it;s notifying you of message arrival. Check
your Startup folder to make sure it contains no Outlook shortcut. Use
MSCONFIG to make sure it's not in one of the registry startup keys.
