icon for switching email accts - Outlook 2003

Guest

I use Outlook 2003 and have two email accounts; one for business and one for
personal. The only way I know to switch between accts is a pain (i.e., Tools
/ e-mail accounts / change email accounts / select the account / set as
default / finish). Is it possible to put an icon for each account on the
Outlook toolbar so all I would need to do to change the email account default
is click on the appropriate icon ?

Can you be more specific, please ? By 'Accounts button,' are you referring
to the 'E-mails accounts ...' button that I can put on the toolbar ? The
problem with that option is it saves only one step. I'm hoping there is a
button I can put on the toolbar trhat I can click on once and it
automatically will make a specific acccount the default account. Is there
'Accounts button' that does that (i.e., I would have two of them on the tool
bar) ? If so, how do I find it and attach a specific account to it ? Thank
you for your help.

The new message window contains an Accounts button that lets you chose the
sending account.
You can't miss it.
There is no need to keep changing the default account back and forth.
