[Ham-Computers] eMail Manager for XP

[Jay (AD5PE)]

I believe Pop accounts will all go to the default "Inbox" folder.  IMAP
accounts will each get their own folder under the account "name" (as set up
when you add it - the email address by default).

I don't have '07 anymore, but the newer versions have a "from" button that's
actually a pull-down listing all your accounts - just click and pick the one
you want.  If '07 doesn't have that, I can't help with that part.

 Kurt,

I have Outlook 2007 as part of Office 2007.  I already knew that Outlook
could download email from more than one email address and on more than one
server.  I have (I think) six email addresses, five @comcast.net and one
@cs.com.  .  Four are mostly inactive and mostly exist only because on one
board/forum that I moderate I have four User ID's and that server requires
unique addresses.   Email sent to three of them is rare and usually not
important, anyway.  And they don't originate any email. 

 I knew that Outlook could download email from more than one server because
one of the Comcast email addresses is IMAP and the other four are POP3.  And
are on two different physical servers, although both groups are
@comcast.net.  The sixth address, which is the busiest, is @cs.com.  

The first problem with Outlook is that if it is possible to download
incoming emails to multiple Inboxes, other than that the one IMAP address
(which is mostly inactive) goes to a different Inbox, I have been unable to
figure out how to do that.  I do not want to mix mail to and from
wa5cab at comcast.net with that to and from wa5cab at cs.com.  

The second problem is that as far as I can tell, it is hard coded to display
the various folders in alphabetical order.  Whereas the Compuserve 7.0
software, which suddenly was shut down today, allows you to put the various
folders in any order that you want them in without having to put place
holding letters or numbers in front of the folder names.

The third problem is that I don't know how to make the system originate an
email other than from the one set as the default.

The second (folder display order) problem is a definite irritation but not a
show stopper.  The first one (everything gets downloaded to one Inbox) and
the third one (how to originate an email from other than the default without
first changing the default) definitely are.

If you know how to fix or circumvent these three problems with Outlook,
please let me know.  Or if you can't explain it but know that any of them
can be done, that would at least be a step in the right direction.

Robert D.

"What I need is an email manager like Outlook and all of its clones, but I
can't use Outlook (which I have) as it is already being used for
comcast.net. "

Outlook, and outlook express, which I both use, especially older versions,
work with XP in various builds, and will let you add any account for any
provider, just put in the details.  I have seven on this system, three or
four on another, different providers, you just tell it what to connect to,
each account can be different.

Kurt
