I'm trying to help someone, they want to use outlook express, and they have 2 pop3 email accounts. I have them set up to where they have to log off the identity and log on to the other and vice versa to get the emails (since u can't to my knowledge have 2 totally separate inboxes for local accounts).
I was wondering if there was a way to make a shortcut for each of these 2 identities so that opening the shortcut it automatically logs you into the profile? I'd guess that you'd have to add something (-???????? maybe) to the target line in the shortcut.

If this isn't possible no biggie, was just kinda curious. Thanks for lookin!

Try this in the Shortcut Path:

-p"identityname"

Don't know if that'll work with OE or not.

Hi xxx

If you want separate mailboxes forthe two email accounts...you could try...setting up a message rule.
Choose "where the To line contains people"
and add the email address of the second mail account.
And then have those emails go to a separate folder that you will create...eg Inbox#2
In theory, then both email accounts will have their own "In" folders.
Inbox for one, and Inbox#2 for the other.

Good luck

To err is human, but for a complete foul-up, one requires the assistance of a computer !

Hi.

Jennifer SUMN that didn't seem to work, unless I was doing sumthin wrong. I tried doing that in a couple different spots in the shortcut properties, and with and w/o the quotation marks around the identity name, but no luck. Thx for the idea though.

krysdem I'll check and see if that will work for them, I didn't think of that.

Thx guys (and gals)
