Multiple Instances.

Running XP HOme (SP2) and Office 2003 setup for my wife.

Outlook talks to her ISP Account. - she also has a
gmail account say

I would like to setup a second instance of Outlook that is a second icon on
the desktop, that separately goes to the gmail pop/smtp servers.

I understand that within outlook, I can poll multiple accounts for incoming
mail, but she (who must be obeyed) gets confused as to where email is being
sent from, in that environment, so a separate "Icon" makes much more sense to
her (and ultimately, given the volume of spam coming through the ISP Account,
we may turn that off anyway. )

Can anyone explain or point to how to do this...

you can make her a shortcut but you can only have one copy of outlook open
at a time.

you want the profile switch:
