Managing Multiple Email Accounts/Mailboxes

Many of us have more than one email address and more than one email account /mailbox.

 Most email clients can be configured to receive email from multiple email accounts/mailboxes and place then into the same inbox. (universal inbox).

 This is what most people want and and they have no problems with this arrangement. Here is how to configure both Outlook Express and incrediMail:

• Access Multiple Email Accounts/Mailboxes with Outlook Express

• Access Multiple Email Accounts/Mailboxes with IncrediMail

Even though some people are happy to have all emails in the one inbox they want to know which emails where sent to which mailbox (email address).

Organizing Emails

Even though the Universal inbox is a great idea many want to know which email was sent to which email address, and so we need any easy way of flagging the email.

The easiest way of doing this is by using message rules. It is possible to configure a message rule that will move all email sent to address A to folder A and even to highlight it with a different colour. Here are the message rules for both Incredimail:

and Outlook Express:

If you are unsure of how to configure message rules see:

Using Email Forwarding

Another way of getting mail from multiple mailboxes into a single mailbox is to use the technique of email forwarding.

Email forwarding is a technique for transferring an email from one address to another. For example an email addressed originally to steve@flasedomain.com can be sent (forwarded) to steve@gooddomain.com by this technique.
