It appears as though I can add another email address to Outlook. If I add a second will the existing address be deleted? If it can handle multiple, is there a maximum number? Will each address have its own set of mailboxes?
Thanks.
You can add multiple accounts within Outlook, I’m not sure what the limit is, although I think it’s 5 POP accounts.
To do this, from within Outlook click on Tools, Account Settings and follow the prompts from there.
Nope. They’re all glommed together into one ‘inbox’ folder, one ‘sent items’ folder, etc.
I’ve set up the copy of Outlook on my home computer to handle three email addresses: my GMAIL SMTP/POP3 address, my VERIZON.NET SMTP/POP3 address, and my workplace Exchange account.
If you reply to an email, the email address Outlook uses by default to send the email is the one that received the original email. If you compose a new email, Outlook uses by default the email address that you’ve designated to be the default one. (In both cases you can change the sending email address before you send it off.)
If you want separate inboxes you can just create the appropriate folders and set some rules so that emails get automatically moved to their respective “inbox” when downloaded.
Excellent point.
I don’t generally use Rules (other than as spam filter extenders) so I didn’t think of using them originally.
It’s not. I have 14 and I’ll bet the limit is much higher.
