Hi,

I have two email accounts and I would like to handle them in separate ways
so incoming and outgoing mail will be stocked in separate folders and not
all in one. Here's what I tried but didn't work out. Anyone with an
elegant solution?

I created two accounts but when asked where my mail must go, I'm only able
to activate the "Personal Files" mode and not e.g. a subfolder.

I also tried to pull this off whith the "Send/Receeive Groups" setting and
there I can only activate the mailbox In folder and not the underlying
folders, although it shows a + in the tree.(Outlook knows there are several
folders, but is not likeable to show them, let alone activate them.

Anyone

All mail in Outlook is received in the Inbox. There is nothing you can do
about this. What you CAN do, is to set up a rule (or rules) to move incoming
mail from the inbox to different folders after it has been received.
Unfortunately, there is no way of doing the same automatically fo your sent
items - you can still make a rule, but you will have to run it manually
periodically. (Outlook 2000)
