I have two domain names (xyz@123.com and xxx@abc.com)How can I set up one Outlook profile (Exchange 5.5 Server) so that I can recieve and reply to email with the appropriate domain name? My best scenario to date is to have two mailboxes in my profile, and to respond to emails using the "From" option. There are some problems with this, the main one being that my second mailbox does not automatically inform me of incoming mail.
Does anyone have any ideas on managing emails with multiple domain names?
If it ain't broken, play with it till it breaks.
 
All I can think of is that you could set up to auto forward mail from one account to another, although doing so still leaves a copy of the original message in the mailbox so you would still need to maintain the second mailbox. And I believe you would also have to do this using the Inbox Assistance rather than the Rules Wizard.

There won't be any getting away from using the FROM field though in this scenario.

If someone else can think of another way I would be interested in reading it as well. joegz

joegz's suggestion is worth consideration, although I would add that the rules wizard could be used to delete emails after a period of time (to ensure that any mails that are forwarded are indeed forwarded to your second mailbox). The maintainance of the forst mailbox becomes a little more simple.
 
Assuming that you have one exchange 5.5 server for both domains, there are a couple of ways you maybe able to do this.
1. Give xyz@123.com delegates rights to xxx@abc.com's mailbox or vice versa. If enough rights are given, you should be able to administer xxx@abc.com's mailbox from xyz@123.com. This off course includes "sending mail as" xxx@abc.com from xyz@123.com.
To assign delegates rights, go to Tools_Options_Delegates tab...

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Firm, but will I be notified that there is mail in my second mailbox? If it ain't broken, play with it till it breaks.
