Hey Googie.

I think I have found the answer to our problems....!! The following was
posted on another forum;

'One thing that you can do is to have a different Outlook Profile for each
account.
Configure them in Control Panel - Mail. Select Show Profiles then Add.
When you've done this, Outlook will ask you to select a profile when you
start it up.'

I sucsesfully set up three seperate accounts using this method. It does mean
selecting a profile when starting up outlook, but it keeps it all seperate. I
do hope this is of use to you.

Regards to all who had some input.

I too am having the same dilemma. My partner and I use the same computer for
our work, the same user i.d., etc. Switching computer users is an
unneccessary step. We just want our Outlook XP (as in Outlook Express) to
switch easily between MY account-- containing all of MY folders (Inbox,
drafts, sent, etc., plus my OWN reply-to, outgoing name, etc)--and HER
account containing all HER folders, mailbox, etc.

Jeepers. For software that is supposed to cater to small buisinesses, I find
the difficulty in (so far) setting up this basic fuction to be completely
unfathomable.

I think you're referring to Outlook Express, not Outlook since there's no
Outlook v6.0. You might want to check an OE newsgroup for more info

Is it possible to set up two email accounts with Outlook 6.0 such that two
separate icons could be placed on the desktop. clicking on icon 1 would
load Outlook with only the email account #1 messages and the same type of
action for icon 2?

The user does not want to switch identies and does not want the email
account messages to be mixed, otherwise I would just set up two email
accounts and leave one for manual updates. Unfortunately this mixes the
emails from the two different accounts.
