| 311544 | 2005-01-07 02:52:00 | Hi Team I am a member of a business-related forum that sends me about 50-75 new post notifications per day . I then have to preview nearly every one in Mailwasher to see if the content is relevant before deleting or downloading . To keep this volume manageable, I currently use Outlook on my W98/P166 box solely for that purpose but it is understandably slower in opening each email and in deleting . This is a pain and takes up too much of my time . I can't download all these emails on my faster box because this would swamp my daily business email traffic so I thought I might be able to set up a second iteration of Outlook 2000 on the faster box with a different icon to distinguish it and dedicate that iteration to the heavy traffic forum . I am not sure if this can be done though, so before wasting heaps of time experimenting I thought I'd ask here . To me the main issue seems to be getting a separate pst file so that the messages don't get mixed up, but hopefully there is a much simpler method . Am I dreaming or what . :confused: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 311546 | 2005-01-07 03:16:00 | I no longer use Outlook, but I'm sure you can create a new Personal Folders file, complete with separate Inbox, Sent Items, etc, and have a second account go to these folders. However I'm not completely sure, and ninja's search results do look highly relevant. |

| 311547 | 2005-01-07 05:53:00 | Thanks guys, I'd already drifted down the 'Separate User Profiles' path, but my preference is definitely to do it within the one user profile if at all possible. Although logging out and logging back in with a different profile occasionally is not a big deal, the number of times per day I would have to do it would be a right royal pain in the butt. I'd tried the Google route as well, but that didn't do much to clarify the issues so I was hoping somebody here would have found a straight-forward sharing solution. I'm still open to suggestions, but it looks like I might have to wait until I build a new box later this year and can move the present machine into the old girl's role. Cheers Billy 8-{) :xmouth: |

| 311548 | 2005-01-07 06:20:00 | Why not set up another email program such as Eudora, Outlook Express or Thunderbird on your faster box. You could have Outlook and your new email program both open at once and downloading the mail to their own inboxes. |

| 311549 | 2005-01-07 08:51:00 | Now you are talking, Safari! I wish I'd thought of that . :blush: The program would be dedicated to one email source only so it doesn't matter to me whether it is Outlook, OE or any other variation . Problem solved . :thumbs: Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |
