Hello, Any links or info is welcome regarding this.

I have 1 computer and use 1 login for the computer. What
I would like is to use 3 or more email accounts.
Basically we can assume these 3 accounts are (e-mail address removed),
(e-mail address removed), and (e-mail address removed). These are all POP3 accounts. The
first one is my primary account which I check most often
of course and use other Outlook functions such as the
calender. The other 2 are ones I would like to check
occasionally. I found how to create additional accounts,
but I am not sure how to swithc between the accounts for
checking and sending email purposes. Please help with
this.

Thanks, for the help.
 
For checking e-mail, you can create and edit Send/Receive Groups so that you
have control over which accounts are checked for new mail and when. To set
these up, go to Tools | Send/Receive Settings | Define Send/Receive Groups.

For sending e-mail, you can use the Accounts button on the Standard toolbar
in a new mail message to change the sending account for that message. For
new messages, Outlook will try use your default mail account, so you'd have
to change it to one of the others manually. For replies and forwards,
Outlook tries to use the account through which the original message was
received; again, you can change it manually. The "infobar" at the top of
the mail message should tell you which account will be used to send the
message if it's not your default account, or if you manually choose your
default account.
