Separate Email Accounts

mjk_2

I have set up two email accounts on my pc, in Outlook Express. They both work i.e. send receive messages ok. The only problem is they appear in the same inbox etc i.e. the messages to the two different users are shown together. How do I set it up so the two mailboxes are private?

Sorry, I'm sure this is really obvious just can't work it out!!!

Thanks for any help.

Create different Identities for each email account. http://www.frognet.net/help/archives/outlook_identities.php shows how.

Thanks for replies. I must be being really stupid but I'm sure that's exactly what I've done. I've got two email address which both work but still all the mails appear together.

Make sure each identity has only one account. Tools menu - Accounts - Mail tab. Emails for all the accounts listed there go in the current identity. So if you had only one identity to start with and it had two email accounts you'll have to delete one account from that identity and set it up in the second identity.

Thanks Chippy! Finally sorted it - can't believe I hadn't managed to figure it out! Both accounts were set up under the main identity.
