How to create 2 email accounts in Outlook?

1st hit from Google
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/microsoft_outlook_2003_configuring_multiple_accounts.html

In Outlook (this is for Outlook XP, but 2003 is basically the same):

1. Choose Rules Wizard from the Tools menu.

2. Click on New. In the dialog that comes up, choose the "Start from a blank rule" option. "Check messages when they arrive" should be preselected.

3. Click Next. In this step, choose the option "with specific words in the recipient's address". Click on the underlined "specific words", type (e.g.) [email protected], click Add and then OK.

4. Click Next. In this step ("What do you want to do with this
message"), select "move to specified folder". Click the underlined word "specified" and specify the folder.

5. Click Next. In this step, add any exceptions if desired.

6. Click Next. Name the rule and click Finish.

7. In the preceding dialog (still showing, click OK).

Or Three Accounts...

The other solution you can use if you don't want to use three folders but would rather be able to file email in a set of folders, with different sets per account, is to actually create three different accounts in Outlook.

Instead of creating 3 separate accounts you could try creating three separate profiles that will give you three separate data files;

First, get rid of two of the accounts from the Outlook profile you already have.

Then go to your Mail Settings, then START --> CONTROL PANEL --> MAIL

Select SHOW PROFILES, then ADD.

Follow through the instructions to set up a profile making sure you have the necessary info from your ISP or POP account ... (account names, passwords, addresses, etc.)

Then create further profiles for the remaining accounts, giving each profile a separate and distinguishing name.

Once you have your three profiles (each with a different email address) click the radio button next to "Prompt for a Profile to be Used". Then click OK.

When you start Outlook, it should ask you which profile to use. Choose the appropriate one and you're all set. That should also give you three data files.

Oh! For you to easily access all three accounts, you'll want to be using Classic View and not Category View in Control Panel or you may have a hard job finding Mail.

Either way, you should find that managing three different email accounts within Outlook is surprisingly straightforward, certainly more so than the Internal Revenue tax code!

you could try using two different e-mail programs...

set up one account in Outlook...
another account in Thunderbird
another account in Windows Live Mail

... etc.

Yes, you can!

You don't say what email client your wife is running, or whether your emails are coming from a company Exchange server. If the latter, you may well not be able to do this without using VPN access (if your employer allows it - not likely).
But if it's your personal mail account, and your wife's PC is running Outlook or Outlook Express, then take a look at Tools, Account Settings (Outlook 2007), or something similar. Add a new account, following the wizard prompts (you need to know your pop and smtp server addresses, plus any login/password details), but make sure that your wife's account remains the default!
Use Rules to route all mail addressed to your address to a folder, so you can keep things separate.

Simpler still (again assuming we're not talking about a company mail account) is to use the mailbox provider's webmail interface, and not have to mess with the Outlook settings. If you need to keep copies of your old mails, open a Gmail account and forward everything there. Gmail's settings include instructions on how to retrieve mail from other mail accounts directly into Gmail, plus you have a couple of gigs of space to play with.

Yes it is possible.

If you are using Outlook, then 2 profiles may be what you want
