Can use have multiple accounts on MS Outlook 2000 at home? (not outlook express)

[Trey]

I can't figure out how to get more than one account on it. I've looked everywhere. Is it not possible?

Thanx

I assume you are using Outlook from Microsoft Office 2000?

Depending on how you setup Outlook to start-off with, i.e. you chose to setup:

a) Internet Only
b) Corporate or Workgroup

If you are running Internet Only, on the Tools menu there is an Accounts option, you should see your default account here, using the Add button (top right) and selecting Mail...will allow you to add multiple accounts.

You can then use the Rules wizard to have mail divided up between different inboxes if you so desire.

You can re-configure Outlook's mail support for Internet Only and Corporate from within Tools/Options.

Hey thanx wahrez. I got it now.

OK, well, when I thought I had it all figured out, I have another problem. I have 3 accounts now on Outlook. My personal account, my wife's personal account, and my account for stuff like registrations, bills, etc. The problem if my wife wants to send an email to someone, it sends it from my account, so when someone gets it, its shows it coming from me instead of from her. I am sure there is a simple way to correct this though.

Create a new mail. Click on File->Send Using this Account->Select account.

Yeah, next to the send button, there is a little pull-down-arrow which lists the available accounts to send mail from!
