I have 2 pop3 email accounts, but I'd like to keep them separate in Outlook
Express. I'd like for all the emails from one account to show up in one folder and all the emails from the other account to show up in another folder. Is it possible to not have all the emails show up in the Inbox folder? Thanks. |

First, create a local folder to be used as a second Inbox and name it
anything you want. (Inbox-2)? Use this for one of the accounts, and the default Inbox for the other. Then create a message rule. Where the message is from the specified account. Move it to the specified folder & Stop processing more rules. Click on: Specified Account and enter the account name for the second Inbox. Click on: Specified Folder and select the folder you created. Name the rule. Move this rule to the top of the rules list and the incoming messages will be separated into their respective folders. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Steve B." wrote in message ...

Why not two sub-folders of Local Folders i.e. AAInbox and ABInbox.

100% agreed. But I prefer to KISS the first reply in a case like this. If
the OP posted back saying my suggestion worked, then I would insert my opinion of two user created folders as you mention. baby steps -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Gerry" wrote in message ...

Then that is their loss. I don't really care about getting a TY for myself,
but a post back is helpful to the others that may be following a thread to see it the suggestion worked. -- ~Bruce "Gerry" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Bruce. I finally got to try out your suggestion today. It worked
great, when I didn't use the "stop processing more rules." Pretty weird, huh? "Bruce Hagen" wrote: First, create a local folder to be used as a second Inbox and name it anything you want. (Inbox-2)?

You're welcome. Did you move this rule to the very top of the list?

It is not weird. It depends on other rules that you may have.
Is there a reason why you didn't add Stop processing more rules? It is recommended that you add Stop processing. -- Ron Sommer "Steve B." wrote in message ... Thanks, Bruce.

It turns out that I did need to keep the stop processing more rules. I ended
up creating two Inboxes as sub-folders to Local Inbox. I called them Inbox1 and Inbox2. I set up rules for each of these 2 inboxes. Now it works perfectly. My email goes into each of these 2 new inboxes and nothing goes into the main Local Inbox. The only thing that I can't figure out is how to retrieve my Hotmail Bulk Mail using the pop3 format in outlook express. Any ideas? "Ron Sommer" wrote: It is not weird.
