From: gouligann on 3 Feb 2010 08:23 Can I have two different outlook mail programs running on my desktop using two different servers (Xplornet-satelight system, and Sympatico-dialup)? If I can, do I have to download the second Outlook, or how do I get another blank Outlook to start from scratch with for my new email address? My husband and I need two different accounts and would like to have both using Outlook. If this means anything, I am using Vista. Would it work if I switch to another user name/profile when I log onto my computer? That would be very easy then... Thanks, Ann -- gouligann
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 3 Feb 2010 11:34 no, you can't have two outlooks open at once. You can do one of the following: 1 outlook, 2 profiles. Close outlook, reopen with the other profile 2 windows accounts and fast user switching. each outlook can be kept open 1 outlook profile, contains both accounts -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM How many email accounts are in your main Outlook profile? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=36602 "gouligann" <gouligann.5af5731(a)outlookbanter.com> wrote in message news:gouligann.5af5731(a)outlookbanter.com... > > Can I have two different outlook mail programs running on my desktop > using two different servers (Xplornet-satelight system, and > Sympatico-dialup)? > > If I can, do I have to download the second Outlook, or how do I get > another blank Outlook to start from scratch with for my new email > address?

That would be very easy then... You can't have two copies of Outlook open. Two profiles would do what you want, but here's another, perhaps easier, suggestion for you: Have both accounts in the single copy of Outlook with a single profile. Create a new folder for your husband's incoming mail, and write a rule to move all mail addressed to him to that folder as it arrives. If you do that, your mail will be separated. Your mail will arrive in the inbox, and his in the new folder you created. At home, my wife and I each has his own computer, but when traveling with a laptop, the above is exactly what we do. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
