versions, by default, each email account w ill prompt Outlook to create a new file and hence, a
different inbox. You can always combine the accounts into a single file so tha t it becomes easy for

delivered to a custom folder, click New Folder to create a new folder. In case you wish to use a
new PST file for email, you can select New Outlook File. But since your contacts, calendar etc
are already stored in outlook.pst, it is better to select Outlook -> Inbox as it will save time on
backing up files (See last figure below).
6. Once you have selected the folder you wish, click OK.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for each email account inbox you want to combine.
8. Close the Account Settings window
Following the above procedure, you can close the additional files that were created by MS
Outlook for different email accounts that you have now combined as the new mail will be
delivered to the folder you selected in step 5.
This explains how you can combine Outlook inbox in version 2007 and version 2010.

Is there any way to combine imap accounts?
Dm Hunt
I do not think there is a way to do that. IMAP is based on synchronizing with your
email account on the server (of email service provider) so it would not allow emails
to be delivered to a common folder. You can however, use a rule to forward all
mail to a specific folder other than inbox

One of the problems with using multiple accounts in Microsoft Outlook is that each
account has a separate inbox folder

If you are using POP3 access, you can combine the inboxes using the above
method.

Thank you for a good article.
I have a question about multiple accounts in Outlook 2007:
When I'm trying to send a mail to multiple e-mail addresses (like to some of my friends) I
pick the addresses from my contacts, and want to send the mail from my default e-mail
account (my private one ) in Outlook.
When I click send, I get an respons from Outlook at once saying that Outlook can not
send to those addresses with none of my e-mail accounts in Outlook. The answer is

coming from my 3:rd (and last) e-mail account in Outlook.
First of all, I can send mail to those e-mail addresses one at the time, so the addresses
are correct.
I don't want my friends to get the e-mail from one of my other (work) accounts, so I don't
understand why I get a reply from one other account than the one I sent the mail from.
When I look at the sent folder, no e-mail was sent from any account at all, not the one I
wrote from and not from the one that I get the error message from.
Any clue on where the problem may be?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Rune

giving prob lems an IMAP o r MAPI?
