does not work on two different incomming mail addresses...

mail@mailtest1.com
mail@mailtest2.com

if a rule is created sending either one of these two addresses based on the to: field into a different folder then any mail sent to both emails still gets sent to that folder and not just the one address... thats because exchange server does not really use the TO: field at a users outlook level but only on the server itself and then it sends it to the owner of that mail box...so in by the time it hits outlook for any rule to be applied the message is coming to the same address.

I've been trying all night to get my two mail accounts in Outlook (separate pops and smtps) to receive the email that are being sent to those addies, but they end up in one folder or another. In Account settings, it asks where incoming mail should go, but you can't assign it so that some mail goes to Personal Folder 1 and other mail to Personal Folder 2. Very frustrating and makes Outlook pointless when you have to create rules to make it work. Thunderbird, on the other hand, was a breeze to set up for my two accounts, and mail goes exactly where it should. This is a simple fix for MS to achieve but it seems as of they will not even address it: Allow the user in account settings to specify an incoming mail folder for each account that will only accept mail addressed to that account.

I have two email accounts on the same server with different passwords. How do I configure Outlook to recognise and download both automatically?

You need to set up a new rule then start from a blank rule. Check messeges when they arrive should be highlighted. click "next".check off "through a specified account. go below in the box and click highlighted "specified account" On the drop down list pick the mail account that you want the new mail to go into a different folder. Click "next" and check off the first box "move to specified folder". Again go below and click on the highlighted "specified folder" and choose which folder you want the mail to go to. I made a new extention folder from the inbox but you can create a folder under personal folders if you like. This worked for me in outlook not outlook express.

I am having trouble as well, with Exchange Server and two email accounts. Both accounts are for the same user, so there isn't a separate mailbox for each one. I created a rule in Outlook 2000 to check mail as it arrives for specific words in the recipients address. I added the name of the mailbox information for the recipients info. It doesnt appear to see that however. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have several smtp: account names under the one user.
Which when i create a rule as suggested here.
Will direct all emails from that USER to that one folder, even if i select the specific email address name, because it is part of the same USER, i am only assuming it will not re direct it to a seperate mail folder.

WHich is what i want it to do.
Any hints or ideas would be appericated.

(Besides the common answer, make a rule) please give more details on how to set up a rule or action that will seperate the smtp on the incoming user. Thankyou.

Thanks Leo

You have not answered the original question.

How does one successfuly direct two different email address's to two different folders with a rule?
