Default Separate PST folders for email accounts. How do I ...

Brian

Sorry for delay - been busy.
I've used rules to require Me@ emails to go to my Inbox and Wife@ emails to
go to Wife Inbox. That seems to have worked but I get 2 copies, i.e. Me@ and
Wife@ appearing in each Inbox. In Tools/e-mail accounts, 'view or change
existing e-mail accounts', hitting 'Next' I can see both Me and Wife, with Me
as default, AND, 'Deliver new e-mail to the following location' shows
Me-Inbox, but although there is also Wife-Inbox, it seems that both Me and
Wife have to be linked to either Me-Inbox or Wife-Inbox, there seems no way
to link Me to Me-Inbox only, and Wife to Wife-Inbox only. Maybe thats why I'm
getting 2 copies.
I fear I have done something idiotic when first setting up Me and Wife.

If you use the same username/password in the account to access the pop
server, then you are correct.

As mentioned I have set up two separate PST file systems, each with
Inbox, Calender, Contacts, etc - one for Me and one for Wife. I'm
happy to change that and do something different. There are two
windows llogins, although only one is ever used. In truth all I was
trying to do was to separate 'home' type emails from 'business' type
emails - using, hopefully 2 separate Inboxes. Does that help you
better to help me. I'd be grateful if you can.


I explained exactly how to separate your mail in my prior post. What did
you not understand? I'll be more precise if you need clarification, but
you'll have to point out what you don't understand.
