Any Outlook Express gurus out there?

We just switched email service providers this past Friday. In my old setup, I had 2 email addresses that were delivered to one addy.....and 1 email address delivered to another addy.

Now that we changed providers, all 3 addresses are being delivered to the same place--regardless to the @ suffix that it was intended to go to. In my current situation, I need to have sepeartion between the addresses...if that makes any sense?!?!

I called the provider, and they said it was an Outloook issue---that there was a way to tell Outlook which way to divert the messages. I looked for an hour and can't figure it out......but they do claim it's NOT anything on their end. POP 3 server.... Of course, I am the only one in my company that has this dual email thing going--and our supposed IT guy is about as good as the nearest dart thrower.

Any suggestions out there? Thanks!

I think you'll need separate email profiles in Outlook express - one for each address you want separated. Then in each profile, you only set it up to get the POP3 emails that you want in each profile.

Anyway, I think that is how it should work....

Thanks Mags...

I do have 2 seperate identities on Outlook... 1@abc.....and 1@123... On the old system, I just had to log on to each address, and the messages would just come on in....

Still set up the same way, but EVERYTHING is being dumped into the abc address......even if sent to the 123 account. I guess I don't know how to tell it how to seperate which messages go to which accounts? I thought it would do it automatically?!?!

I think you need to go into each profile and check to make sure that only 1 POP 3 account is set up for each profile. I'm guessing that one of the profiles has more than 1 POP 3 setup - which is why they are all getting dumped in there.

Keep in mind, I'm speaking from an Outlook standpoint. I haven't used OE for 5 years. I made the "jump" to standard Outlook and haven't looked back.

That is certainly something to consider - Outlook has so much more in terms of capabilities....

What you could do, is use "Rules" to direct mail sent to each of your addresses into a specific folder. That way the mail would come in all at once, but be sorted for you.
