If anyone is familiar with the two programs mentioned in the subject, I would be very appreciative if you could help me with a little setup question.

It's a long story... in a nutshell, I am currently using Outlook Express for my FQ POP (sounds like a marketable beverage :) ) accounts, but need to switch over to Outlook.[nbsp][nbsp]In OE, I have two "identities" set up, one for run-down.com and one for abledesign.com.[nbsp][nbsp]The two are separate from each other, different login, inbox, sig file, etc.

In Outlook, I can't find any option for doing something similar.[nbsp][nbsp]I can set up both POP accounts, but I see no option for separating them???[nbsp][nbsp]They share the inbox, address book, and sig file.[nbsp][nbsp]If I send a test message to either of them and reply, the reply comes from which ever of the two email addresses I sent it to.[nbsp][nbsp]That's good.[nbsp][nbsp]But if I send a new message from within Outlook, it sends it from which ever of the two accounts is the default.[nbsp][nbsp]That's bad.[nbsp][nbsp]Surely there is some way of doing this?[nbsp][nbsp]I see no mention of how to do this in the help files.

Thanks in advance,
Duplicity

There are no separate "Identities" in Outlook, but you can easily filter which folder the incoming mail goes into. I never use the "inbox" as I have many other folders that my mail filters into, depending on which account it arrives at and other factors...

As for the signature, I just don't keep one on by default, and I always specify the account to send From with new messages...

PS - I believe (but am not sure) that with Outlook, if you use different logins for Windows you will each have completely separate mail and settings...
