Please help. I have six email addresses that I want to send and receive in MS Outlook. Is there anyway to select the address to send from and to direct incoming email to specific folders? I can do this in MS Outlook Express through using the To: drop down box, but I have no idea how to do it in MS Outlook.

Thanks.

Okay Which Version of Outlook are you running? This is very possible by the way.

I'm going to go Generic because things change depending on the version of Outlook you are using.

For Incoming. Create the folders you want first (for each of the Six email accounts)

Setup a rule for each account(typically under Tools, then rules) to move incoming mailed based on the To: CC: and Bcc: to the folder that you created.

For outgoing email. There is typically a from field. It doesn't appear automaticatically. You usually have to set it up by Click on view and adding it to the toolbar or when it the message it may appear on the main menu of view.

In Outlook 2003 when you create a new message, there is a button on the toolbar that says accounts and allows you to choose the account.

Hope this helps,
