How can I set up a second email in Outlook 2000? I have created a
second mailbox at Comcast for my husband, but cannot find a way to set
up a second identity. When I google this question, I get answers
involving Exchange, which I do not have.  I have set up the account
and am able to receive his emails, but I cannot send them out from a
mailbox that comes from his email address and has his signature. Thank
you.

Hi floatinglantern,

Please go to Help / About Microsoft Outlook.
Do you see "Internet Mail Only"?

Thanks,

Hi floatinglantern,

Here you go -

1) Confirm that you are in "Internet Mail Only" mode.
   Go to Help / About Microsoft Outlook.
   Do you see "Internet Mail Only"?

If not, go to:
Tools / Options / Mail Services or Mail Delivery tab
Click Reconfigure Mail Support / Email Service Options
Select "Internet Mail Only"
Next / Yes (Outlook will close)
Restart Outlook. The Windows Installer will install the files
automatically if needed.

2) Follow the instruction at the Microsoft website to add your
husband's email account.
