| 132672 | 2003-04-01 11:08:00 | hi im back, with more problems......lol as you may remember ( or not ) i was moving and going to have two isp's, so two email adress's ok? well got them both up and running today, but now when online with one or other when i go to check for mail, they both go to check and one always comes up error (the one not connected of course) which is a little frustrating. says something along the lines of incorect password or ? is there a way that when checking for mail that i may not have both checking? or can i seperate them? at moment they come up in same outlook express page inbox. is there a way i can have a page each? something simple would be good about now folks....lol thanxs and boy did i miss pF1 felt like my throat was cut havent seen you guys since saturday! beetle |

| 132673 | 2003-04-01 11:13:00 | Welcome back :) I noticed that Outlook Express has the option under "file" to create "Identities". Perhaps this will allow you to do what you require? |

| 132675 | 2003-04-01 11:25:00 | As mentioned you can set up another identity if you want but provided you have the correct pop server account name and password for each account set up in OE when you click on send/receive you should be able to download mail for both addresses into the one inbox. | Jim B (153) | ||
| 132676 | 2003-04-01 11:33:00 | ok i got that but i was really wanting them to be seperate i dont mind in outlook together but on different inbox pages. is this possible? one is work and one is play, both have very different address's, and both are from different isp's but both go straight to one inbox. how can i seperate the different types of mail? maybe i cant, dunno. would make life easier beetle |

| 132677 | 2003-04-01 11:49:00 | Hi Beetle If you create a New Identity, you can use one for work and leave the other for personal emails. The mail will be kept separate each in their own version of Outlook Express so to speak. Full details and explanation of the process can be found here: How to Create and Use Identities in Outlook Express 5.x and 6.0 (support.microsoft.com) Jen |

| 132678 | 2003-04-01 11:55:00 | just a sidenote, have you changed your smtp settings? so you have something along these lines: new isp email: pop.newisp.co.nz smtp.newisp.co.nz old isp email: pop.oldisp.co.nz smtp.newisp.co.nz <-- very important that you use the smtp server provided by the isp you are using to connect to the internet i'm not saying that this will fix your problem, i'm just checking that you've taken this step... |

| 132679 | 2003-04-01 21:09:00 | In Outlook Express, you can construct rules (Tools>Message Rules>Mail) to distribute incomming mail to different folders e.g based upon the address :| | wuppo (41) | ||
| 132680 | 2003-04-02 12:07:00 | ok hello every one, just got home and read thread and at the moment cant quite get my head round it, as i havent looked at it since my last post on this thread. and now too tired to concentrate properly. i have two isp's ok got that theydo not connect at same time but i can access mail off both isp's at same time? as long as something is set that way? (cant remember what its called) ok i have done some thinking (in the spare time i have, after work and before my class, then cooking dinner for 6 adults, kids been fed already, then putting kids to bed and off to clean my empty old house, now home check mail and soon to bed!) for the new day tomorow! lol and i will probably use these two address's seperately and only send work ones from work email at this stage, maily only getting incoming at this stage. they are both using same phone line when connected, and the same OE inbox, and i have sorta looked at new identity but not had time to change it yet, this means ill have a inbox just for work? sounds good thank you every one for your input, i ll let you know how i get on, either way! still not quite up to the play but ill read some of the info ive been told to look at (tomorow i hope) and maybe understand it then. beetle :) |

| 132681 | 2003-04-02 18:48:00 | Here's the set up we ran here for a little while. Outlook identity 1(Chris) This picked up all mail for me which included 2 @paradise.net.nz accounts, and of course my_mail@my_domain.co.nz and my_mail@my_domain.net.nz (my_domains c/- register direct) Outlook identity 2 (Dyan) This picked up my better halfs mail which included 1 @paradise.net.nz account, her own @snap.net.nz account, and her_address@my_domain.co.nz These were separate to the point were we both had to log in to OE and then it would deal with our separate personal mail and ONLY our mail. Of course we didn't have the ISP conflict because neither paradise or snap have a problem with customers picking up mail from a computer connected to the net via something outside of their networks. There is no difficulty picking up paradise mail at Dyans house either. The picking up of mail from pop.snap.net.nz while connected to the net via cable-paradise, or picking up mail from pop.paradise.net.nz while connected to the net via dial-up-snap is not blocked by the respective ISPs For you, a separate identity which can be fired up along with a connection to the appropriate ISP would work. Is this what you want??? .Clueless |
