Running 2 email clients concurrently?

[dabbler]

Has anyone ever had a problem running 2 email clients concurrently? I would like to keep my personal emails separate from my work emails. I'd like to use Outlook for work and Thunderbird for personal, both running at the same time. Will this be a problem?

I don't see any reason why this is a problem. Both might just want to be set to default, but you should be able to disable the notifications in both and all will be fine.

No it will be fine. You can even use them both via a single client if you want, just setup the two accounts.

Yes, should work perfectly. E-mail clients are completely separate programs running in their own spaces so there should be no conflicts unless you are clearing mail from the same server.

Would suggest the Outlook for the work stuff and Thunderbird for the private stuff.
