I need assistance setting up multiple pop3 accounts in Outlook 2003 so that there are separate folders for the inbox and any other folders I may create for the individual accounts. For backround purposes, I am an IT technician and am very computer (and Microsoft product) literate. My computer is currently running Windows XP SP2, and I have the most updated version of Microsoft Office 2003. I use Outlook 2003 as my mail client for several email accounts, including two IMAP accounts, one HTTP account, and (hopefully) several Gmail accounts. All of the IMAP and HTTP accounts have separate data files without changing the association for the Calender, contact list, etc. I have several Gmail accounts (a business account, a personal account, a family account, etc.) and whenever I attempt to add a second account, it is automatically combined with the first under the primary inbox in the original Personal Folders data file. There is no distinction between the two in terms of separate folders or the like. When I attempt to add another data file, I can't choose to deliver one Pop3 account to it and leave the other in the original location. I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance in this matter. |

Try using the rules, make rules for each account saying that an email received for the account x will be moved to the Folder X, etc. I did this in the past and it worked well for me. Let me know if this kind of answer satisfy your needs and if you need further assistance on this I will post it in the answer box. Regards. livioflores-ga |

That's the best solution I could think of in lieu of creating separate data files...if there is no easy way to do this, that'll work fine. |

Hi again!! To perform this task you must create one folder for each account naming them in a way that let you associate each folder with its account easily (that is giving to each folder the name of the account, ie the part before the @ symbol in the email address). Then create one rule for account that says the following: From Tools menu --> select Rules and Alerts --> New Rule --> Check messages when they arrive --> Click Next --> Select When it is received from an specified account --> Specify the account --> Click Next --> Select move to the specified folder --> Specify the folder --> Avoid exceptions --> Name the rule with the account's name --> Select the "execute now" option if you like and ensure that the option Activate this rule is selected --> Finish and voilá!!, this must works and it is easy to do. Let me now if this answers your question in order to post this comment in the answer box and can claim the prize, if not let me know also to continue researching following the guidelines that you will provide if this not satisfy you.
