Is there a way to use both Outlook XP & Outlook Express 6 for two seperate e-mail accounts? I'd like to use one for business and the other for personal and have so far had problems with errors finding server with both operating.

Simply answer NO One or the other and then it wont cause issues

this wouldn't be at all convenient, and if you're on a domain, not even possible, but otherwise, you could create a secondary user profile and just fast-switch between the two. just a thought

I agree with 'pete'. I just set up a Windows XP machine for a friend. His had 7 email accounts. Since this was for 7 different people, profiles worked great, they all have different email addresses. But profiles will work for you too. Just create two profiles, call one 'Work' and one 'Home'. I've also set up 2 different email addresses in Outlook Express, on a laptop running WinNT 4.0. This was an ISP email account for his work and a Hotmail account. He was using Outlook Express Version 5.5 but I just upgraded him to OE 6 recently and it worked fine. I've never done this in Outlook, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, if it works in OE. I'm curious why this didn't work for you. One question though, if it's webmail, your Email Admin may require you to pipe your password with the account information or server info, have you checked into this?

just cuz i was curious about this, i tried something when i got to work today. i work at a university where i have a student account for the couple classes i take. we have 2 different exchange servers (5.5sp4), one for students and one for fac/staff. in outlook xp/2002 where i already had my staff acct set up (corporate workgroup) i tried setting up my student account alongside with an imap connection to the student server (it won't allow 2 direct exchange accounts) and it told me where to stick it. actually it said the server was offline, but i got into the web access just fine. then i went and added the account to outlook express and it told me "host not found." So, next step (by the way i work at the helpdesk, so it's my job to sit here and figure this stuff out, i'm not just that bored or underworked ;) i logged out and logged back in with my student account, set up the servers (both corparate workgroup and then imap in OE) for my student account and they worked just fine. tried to add my staff account to both, and just like before, no dice. so looooong story, but another testimony that it just plain don't work. once again, gotta love MS.

Please help! My problem is as follows: Until shortly I used to write mails (under Win 98) in Outlook Express 5.0 (I guess so). One is for sure - the mail files are stored as *.snm Now that I use XP and Outlook Express 6.0 on a new harddisk, I'd like to import those old mails, etc. Unfortunately I can't boot from my old Win 98 disk any more (only god knows why), so I didn't get a chance to export the old *.snm files... Any idea how to convert them into *.dbx files or else? _Nurgling
