I want to create 3 e-mail inboxes with each of them dealing with 3 different e-mail addresses. How do you set that up in Microsoft Outlook XP/2002? I know how to create 3 different e-mail accounts with 3 different e-mail addresses and the problem is that they all end up in 1 inbox. I want to organize all incoming e-mails and so I'm going to need your help. Thx

You have to set up message rules. Set it so that any mail coming from that specific account will be moved to a specific folder.

I have several email addresses that I regularly uses (my main email, my junk email, my school email, my work email, temporary emails created for classes, etc) and I felt that Outlook and OE's method of handling email addresses was kind of annoying. I use Thunderbird now and it automatically creates a new inbox, outbox, etc. for each account that I add.

I'm kind of new to it and do you think you can show me how? Is there a site with tutorials on how to do it? I tried making a search for it but with no results.

Tools --> Rules and Alerts


They have preset ones or you can do a new one, it walks you through it step by step... very easy
