Hello,
I am using OL 2002. I want to introduce one more account in my OL. I am not sure about this i searched the help topics but cannot find it. I want to creat different accounts which can be toggled in outlook as and when required so that communications from each of these accounts is maintained as required.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Angel
 
You can either do this by creating separate profiles in Outlook or by adding
them to your accounts.

With a separate profile Outlook can be started with just one account so that
all information is completely separate. To do this;
Control Panel-> Mail-> button Shwo Profiles-> button Add... Make sure you
also configure Outlook to prompt you for which profiles you want to start
Outlook.

When you add the extra account by using Tools-> E-mail Accounts... the
account will be addd in the same profile. This means that Inbox, Sent Items,
Calendar, Contacts, etc... are shared and that you have to use Wizard Rules,
Organize or the Accounts column to distinguish from which account the
message came.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Is it possible to create all the folders of both the a/c's in different color. I mean that, say a/c A exists and all the Folders(i.e. Inbox, Sent items, Tasks etc.) of this a/c are displayed in red color and all the Folders of a/c B is displayed in blue color. Pls note that i dont want the e-mails coming from a particular id is received in colors defined by the rules.

I require this to highlight the individual folders of both the a/c which can make my work of organising the mails which i need to be maintained in seperate a/c but which can be displayed at the same time.
Thanks in advance

Hi Angel,

No, it is not posible to color folders it's only possible to color items
(like messages, tasks, notes, etc...).
It has been requested before so you might want to post a wish as well. To do
this use the following link;

Hello,
I faced another problem!. I needed to send attachment of all MHTML files (about 55 in number and of about 4MB's) contained in a seperate folder. Currently, i opened the folder selected all the files individually, and sent them as attachments. But to my surprise, i found that among 55 files only 31 files could be accomodated. For remaining files, i made a another mail.
Is my method correct or there is some limitations of OL 2002 of accomodating only a limited amount of files ? Is it possible to send a folder instead of individual attachments ? Please suggest if there is any other way out.
Thanks in advance!!
Angel.

Better send them in a compressed (zipped) format. This will go a lot faster
as well.
