My spouse and I have 3 identities set up on Outlook Express. Right now, all
three identities are funnelling into the same inbox. Is there any way to
have my husband's e-mails directed into a seperate inbox exclusively for him?

Hi Bernadette,

Much can be done using OE Message Rules.

Tools | Message Rules> Mail

People can be the part of the address before the "@" symbol, or it can be
the full address.
For most rules include "Stop processing more rules" to avoid further
unwanted actions that may apply from another rule.

Here are the choices you'll see when creating a new mail message rule. A
rule can be used to not download a message or sort a message into another
(user created) folder.

1. Select the Conditions for your rule:



Where the From line contains people

Where the Subject line contains specific words

Where the message body contains specific words

Where the To line contains people

Where the CC line contains people

Where the message is marked as priority

Where the message is from the specified account

Where the message size is more than the size

Where the message has an attachment

Where the message is secure

For all messages



2. Select the Actions for your rule:



Move it to the specific folder

Copy it to the specific folder

Delete it

Forward it to people

Highlight it with color

Flag it

Mark it as read

Mark the message as watched or ignored

Reply with message

Stop processing more rules

Do not Download it from the server

Delete it from server



3. Rule Description (click on an underlined value to edit it):



Here you can fill in any additional information needed for a rule.

A Multitude of Multiples: Using Outlook Express with Multiple E-mail Addresses, Multiple
Accounts, and Multiple Identities
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/identity.mspx

The way you handle multiple e-mail addresses in Outlook Express (OE) depends on how the
ISP creates them. There are 3 different ways depending on the ISP:

1) Multiple e-mail addresses feed into a single server POP3 account. In this case, all
users use the same Dial-up Networking connection (DUN) and same Logon Using in OE at
Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers. Each OE account has different settings in
Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, General. This is the poorest ISP support. You must
use message rules to not download messages for the other e-mail addresses. You will be
limited on properly separating the mail.

2) Separate server POP3 accounts, single ISP logon. In this case all users use the same
Dial-up Networking connection (DUN) but different Logon Using in OE at Tools, Accounts,
Mail, Properties, Servers and General. This is the adequate ISP support. Often the first
mail account has the same name and password as DUN. You can use separate identities
(File, Identities) to keep your mail separate (best), or use Message Rules to sort
downloading mail by using "where the message is from specified account".

3) Separate server POP3 accounts, separate ISP logons. In this case each user uses a
different Dial-up Networking connection (DUN) and different Logon Using in OE at Tools,
Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers and General. This is the best ISP support in that it
provides maximum privacy. You should use separate identities (File, Identities) to keep
your mail separate or separate Windows User Logons.
