Specify two server accounts
 

Hi,

My MS Outlook is set up for two server accounts:

Account 1 - In: work server, Out: work server, User info: work e-mail
address
Account 2 - In: home server, Out: home server, User info: work e-mail
address

I've set up the user info to show my work e-mail address in both cases
because I reply to a lot of work e-mails at home.

However, I also check and respond to home e-mails while I'm at work (using
the work server); and also respond to home emails at home (using the home
server). I would like my sent e-mails to show my home e-mail address. So I
set up these additional accounts:

Account 3 - In: work server, Out work server, User info: home e-mail address
Account 4 - In: homeserver, Out homeserver, User info: home e-mail address

The problem with this kind of set-up is that I get two copies of each
incoming e-mail then.

Is there a simpler solution/set-up to/for the outcome I want to achieve?

Is there a way to set up one e-mail account with 1 incoming server and 2
outgoing servers? That would solve my duplicate incoming mail problem.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Modify your send/receive group so that only two of the four accounts
actually receive mail.

That's what I've been doing before as well.
I deliberately misspell a part of the incoming mail server name so that it
can't successfully download e-mails.
That strategy though is a bit annoying because I would then have to contend
with connection error messages.

So, don't modify the server name. Simply disable incoming messages for the
two duplicate server definitions. No error messages then.

How do you disable incoming messages?
I've been looking long ago for how to do that within ToolE-mail accounts
but don't know how?

Is the logon info on the first popup window (where I can still see the
"more settings" button) only for incoming messages?

While viewing the Inbox, press ALT-CTRL-S to bring up the Send/Receive
Groups dialogue. Select the Send/Receive group containing your accounts
(probably "All Accounts") and click Edit. Select each account with the
duplicate POP server and uncheck "Receive mail items".
