| 525814 | 2007-02-19 09:57:00 | hello, Up to now, my partner and I have been using our own laptops, but his one is getting old so we've decided to both use my laptop. I would like to know how to set up in Outlook so that his emails will be downloaded to this particular folder "Joe Blogg's Inbox" and mine will be downloaded to "Jane Doe's Inbox". We don't want our emails to be downloaded to the default Inbox coz that'll mix things up. We both have separate email addresses. Using Microsoft Office 2003. Thanks caffy |

| 525815 | 2007-02-19 10:07:00 | Add an Outlook e-mail profile Open the Mail Setup dialog box . How? In Microsoft Windows XP In Control Panel, double-click User Accounts, and then click Mail . Note If you are using Control Panel classic view, double-click Mail . In Control Panel, double-click Mail . Note The Mail module won't appear unless you have Outlook installed and have run Outlook for the first time . Click Show Profiles . Click Add . Type a name for the profile (Outlook e-mail profile: A profile is what Outlook uses to remember the e-mail accounts and the settings that tell Outlook where your e-mail is stored . ), and then click OK . You will then be able to add an e-mail account to use in your profile . Follow the directions on your screen . . |

If you want to stay in the same identity and have 2 email accounts set up then you will need to add the second email account under Tools - Email accounts. Then create the folders you want, then you will have to create a couple of rules to send email from each account to the appropriate folder. |

| 525817 | 2007-02-20 00:06:00 | I did what rob has said, but how do I select which profile I am on? Am I able to change it from within Outlook or do we have to go to Control panel each time one of us wants to check our email? At the moment, I've set it so it prompts us to set the profile each time we open Outlook . Meaning if I've just checked my email and then my partner wants to, he'll have to close Outlook and then open it again . Isn't there a simpler way? what cyabro suggested is really not suitable because we both get emails from the same people sometimes, so we won't be able to set up rules such as all emails from "Johnny" goes into my folder, because "Johnny" sometimes emails my partner . thanks caffy |

| 525818 | 2007-02-20 00:32:00 | Why don't you set up one email address in another mail program such as Outlook Express or Thunderbird. Setting profiles and mail rules in Outlook to me is doing it the hard way. |

| 525819 | 2007-02-20 00:34:00 | You can make two shortcuts on the desktop, point each to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /profile profilename Loads the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space, enclose the profile name in quotation marks ("). or just one shortcut "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /profiles Opens the Choose Profile dialog box regardless of the Options setting on the Tools menu. |

| 525820 | 2007-02-20 00:41:00 | Just create 2 rules, add what email addies u want in them, and select/create the folder/s you want each email to go into. If both of u want the same email, just add the persons email to both rules. And send the same email to the 2 different folder u created. |

| 525821 | 2007-02-20 00:52:00 | You can make a rule if it is sent to your email (A) it goes into this folder. If it goes to your email (B) it goes into this folder. So you don't need to relogin. This can work on the same window login. |

| 525822 | 2007-02-20 04:43:00 | Isn't there a simpler way? Yes . -there is, but first - are you using Outlook or Outlook Express . I know in Express, [and Mozilla Thunderbird] you can set up as many seperate e-mail accounts as you like . Follow CYaBro's advice . |
