Outlook 2003 Multiple inboxes 1

[A5hx]

I have four e-mail accounts that are working normally, but they all deliver incoming mail to the same inbox/folder. How can I get each account to send it's mail to a different folder?

Just set up rules to be applied to incoming emails. First, create different folders for the accounts. Then go to Tools -> Rules and Alerts. Create rules to move emails from a specified account to a specific folder. After you create the rule, incoming mail should now be sorted accordingly.

You can probably do the same for sorting sent messages by selecting Check messages after sending instead of Check messages when they arrive. However, I haven't tried this myself so I don't know if it works.

Another kind-of-related Outlook question:
If, in the multiple accounts mentioned before, an account has seperate folders (located on the mail server) is there any way to browse those folders via Outlook? eg My Yahoo account inbox has a sub-folder called "fred" which I want to access at home- is there any way I can read the messages stored inside "fred" whilst using Outlook 2003?

Unfortunately, I have little experience with using Yahoo Mail. What your saying though is possible with IMAP. If Yahoo supports IMAP, you can use that instead of POP3 so you will be able to browse other mail folders on the server. As I said, I don't know much about Yahoo so somebody can probably answer this better than me.

To A5hx, how did you get all four accounts to open and dump into one inbox? I am using Outlook 2003.

Never mind... I finally figured it out!

So tell us all, msb770, so it's available to everyone.
