Creating multiple mail accounts
You can set up Outlook Express to receive mail from multiple accounts. Or, if
several people share one mail account, you can set up folders for each person and then
automatically route incoming messages to individual folders.
For example, if you have mail accounts for home and work, you can set up Outlook
Express to receive messages for both accounts and sort them into separate folders.
If multiple users share the same computer but use different passwords, Outlook
Express creates separate accounts for each. Note, however, that each person must log on as
a different user to use a different mail account.
Note
 | When you have multiple mail accounts, and you only want to read messages from
one, click the Tools menu, point to Send and Receive, and then click the
account name. |
| When you have multiple mail accounts and want to send a message from a certain
account, click on File and then on Send Message Using
and choose the account you want to send it with. |
To add, delete, or switch folders
You can manage your mail folders in a variety of ways to make it easy to locate
the messages you want.
| To add a folder, click the File menu, point to Folder, and then
click New Folder. Then, in the Folder name box, type the name. |
| To switch to another folder, click the folder name in the Outlook bar or the
folder list. |
| To delete a folder, right-click the folder in the Outlook bar or folder list, and
then click Delete. |
Note
| You cannot delete or rename the Deleted Items, Inbox, Outbox, or Sent Items
folders. |
To sort incoming messages
By using the Inbox Assistant, you can have incoming messages that meet certain
criteria sent to the folders you want. For example, individuals using the same e-mail
account can have their messages delivered to their personal folders. Or all mail from a
certain person can be automatically routed to a specific folder.
You can also specify that certain messages are automatically forwarded to a
contact in your address book, or that message recipients are automatically sent a file.
- On the Tools menu, click Inbox Assistant.
- Click Add.
- Type the criteria you want the incoming messages to match.
- In the Perform the following action area, select a check box, and then
click the folder, person, or file you want to send the matching incoming messages to.
Tips
| You can specify multiple filters or rules for incoming messages. |
| To change the priorities by which messages are sorted, click the Move Up
or Move Down buttons in the Inbox Assistant dialog box. |
