Can I create another identity in Oulook like I can in OE?
There is more than one user on our computer, and we'd like to keep our emails
separate. Can I create another profile for another user, and if so, please list the steps. Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
sure, you just need to add multiple MAPI Profiles with messaging settings in it for each user. Go to Control Panel / Mail / Create new profile Regards Roger |

... There is more than one user on our computer, and we'd like to keep our emails separate. Can I create another profile for another user, and if so, please list the steps. Thanks in advance. Best way is to create a new Windows Log-in. That way your users have completely separate Outlook data. A further advantage is that separate Users get separate Documents folders and separate Favorites. Or you can create a new Outlook profile. (Be aware you cannot switch Profiles without closing Outlook first, unlike identities in OE) There is one caveat to all this - if you have email addresses that are ALIASES of the one master address, i.e. if your email addresses are in the format of then you will have great difficulty separating emails sent to the different aliases as Outlook does not have a rule like OE that enables you to only download email to a certain address. |

If you have more than one profile in Outlook and you have to close Outlook
before switching to the new profile, how is that done? Does Outlook ask you which identity you want before opening? Thanks again sheana "Gordon" wrote: "sheana" wrote in message ...

Thanks again sheana When you create a second Profile you get the option to allow Outlook to ask which Profile you want to open. But have you not considered separate Windows User accounts? Much simpler. And did you consider my point about alias email addresses? (Of course, that might not apply to you...) |

When you configure a second profile, there will be a radio button you can select that will instruct Outlook to ask for which profile to choose when it starts. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Do Tom and Jerry each have their own passwords? If yes, then go to control
panel, mail and create a new profile for Tom and one for Jerry. If they share the same password as Jane, then it’s a catchall account and you can't use separate profiles. If you aren't sure - try it- make a new profile in Outlook and see what happens. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I have Cox Cable for my ISP, and I'm allowed one "master" email and 6 additional email accounts. So if I have , I can have , , , etc. I set up an account for each one in OE.
