Seperate Mailboxes

[zaineyma]

Outlook 2003:
I have added in 5 mailboxes using POP3 and SMTP Servers from our domain hosts. I created 5 different personal folders in the folder list for each mailbox.
I am having issues in when i receive emails they always go to one mailbox. I tried to change the mail delivery location of one mailbox to correlate to the correct inbox but every time it still goes to a default mailbox.
Is there a way that when anyone sends an email to any of the mailboxes it goes direct to the relevant mailbox?
I have had a good look around but cannot see any obvious options.
Please advise, and thank you in advance.

I had a similar problem but not with incoming. To fix this problem though was not too difficult. When you open up account settings you will see a list of all your accounts. At the bottom it shows you the data file it is attached to. What you need to do is select an email then at the bottom select the data file you want it to attach to. You need to do this for each mail account you have. I have also found out that this does not work with Outlook 2002. I have tested it with Outlook 2007 and it works fine. I think that since both 2003 and 2007 use the same pst file format that 2003 would work also.

To move incoming mail to different folders (or even different pst files), use Mail Rules. Create a rule for each address where messages with [ignore]address_1@wherever.con[/ignore] in the To or CC field get moved to the appropriate folder. The other pst files will need to be kept open in order for this to work.

In addition (depending on the likelyhood of this actaully happening), you might also want to create some additonal rules to cover conditions where a single incoming message might have multiple To or CC that would apply- IOW a single message sent to [ignore]address_1@wherever.con[/ignore] and [ignore]address_2@wherever.con[/ignore]

Is there a reason that you're useing seperate .pst files instead of just seperate folders within 1 pst file?
