how to view 2 MS outlook mails of different exchange servers

Jan 5, 2010 5:43PM PST

Hi experts,

I want to view my 2 email accounts on my company provided notebook, t41 (quite old), with its own dedicated MS outlook exchange server.
How can I add one more email account on the same MS outlook 2003 with a different exchange server? Is this possible?

many thanks in advance for any of your feedbacks & advise.
more power

Jose

how to view 2 MS outlook mails of different servers
Jan 5, 2010 6:52PM PST

hi Kees,

Correction! My bad...
I'll be using an SMTP & a POP3 server for the 2nd email.
I've added it, ok. But it doesn't seem to be updating.

This is for the purpose that I just want to be able to have access on my 2 emails on a single MS outlook session, without having to switch each account just to see if new mails have arrived in the other.
I tried the switching of the accounts, but it doesn't seem to work as well.

i would appreciate any suggestions & advise

thanks again
BR,
Jose

I never had problems configuring a pop3-account in Outlook. I must admit I never did it in combination with an Exchange-account, but I don't think that makes any difference.

To test, make a new Windows account and configure Outlook there to send and receive using the pop3-account. Once that works, carefully note the settings and copy them to this account. Should work.

Hi Kees,

First of all, thanks for the replies.

I've just tried to add the pop3 email account...
but upon 'Test Account Settings',
only the 'Establish Network Connection' task was Completed.
The rest of the tasks were all 'Failed'.

anymore ideas?
thanks again in advance,
