Using more than one e-mail account

Do you and your partner have separate e-mail accounts, but share the same computer? Or do you have two different e-mail accounts for yourself, such as one for home and one for work? With Outlook Express, you can manage multiple e-mail accounts from the same place. You can even have the e-mail from the different accounts delivered to different inboxes.

Here's how:

To set up different e-mail accounts

1. On the Tools menu in Outlook Express, click Accounts.

2. Click the Add button, and then click Mail.

3. Follow the instructions in the wizard to set up the new account.

To choose which account you want to use

• On the Tools menu, click Send and Receive, and then click the account you want to use, or click All Accounts to deliver e-mail to and from all of the accounts you have set up.

1. If you need to create a new folder for the new mail account, on the File menu, click Folder, and then click New Folder. For example, you could create a folder named "Dave's Account."

2. On the Tools menu, click Inbox Assistant, and then click the Add button.

3. Select Account , and then select the name of the account whose mail you want to deliver to a different inbox.

4. Select Move To , and then click the Folder button to specify the name of the folder where you want the mail delivered.
