separating business email from personal

Two people need to synchronize their Outlook email with a contact management
program like ACT! or Intuit Customer Manager. It's going to be a mess if all
their individual personal emails get into this too. How can we keep business
emails separate from personal?

Just having different email addresses with the same ISP doesn't help much,
since all the mail still comes from the same mail account.

Both people use Windows XP. Would it be best to set up a separate User for
the business? Then can the mail account be set up to download just the mail
from the business email?

The business email usually is forwarded from a mail server on the website
host. But it's forwarded to the ISP, so it still comes in mixed with
personal. Is there a better way to set this up?

We could use rules to organize incoming mail into separate inbox folders.
But I don't think that will stop the contact management programs from
getting all the personal mail too.

Any info and advice on this will be much appreciated.
 
If it's all one mail account, Outlook doesn't offer any way to download just
business or just personal mail. Separate mail accounts might make this
easier.
