marbleapple Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Evening all. I am having problems with Outlook 2007 and I am hoping someone might be able to help. I have numerous email accounts (being as popular as I am ) and all the folders are displayed on the left hand side. What I would like to do is have .co.uk empty all it's emails into the same 'inbox' folder as my .com domain however I cannot work out how to do this. .com saves to personalfolders\inbox whilst .co.uk saves to .co.uk\inbox and it will not let me change this. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Each of those folders looks like a separate Personal Folders (PST) file. Can you not just select the main Personal Folders as being the default delivery location for each of the additional accounts? It looks as though Outlook 2007 has created a new PST for each account and set that as each account's delivery location. I didn't know it did that but then I haven't been using Outlook 2007 for too long, and I don't use it with POP3 or PST files.

edd_t Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 create a rule, any e-mails for 'whateveritis.co.uk' move to other inbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (Tools -> Account Settings btw). It'd be better if it was delivered to the right place to begin with rather than having rules moving it from one PST file to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be better if it was delivered to the right place to begin with rather than having rules moving it from one PST file to another. Thanks for the suggestion Edd... I had thought that but I would prefer to fix it correctly if you get what I mean. CarlOs... I presumed your first suggestion would be how it was done, but for some reason the option to change folder was not there. After some fiddling I changed the account from an IMAP to a POP and for some reason the option has now become available.... so THANK YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 ah, well, IMAP is leaving the messages on the server, so it makes sense that each account would show under its own set of folders, and it also means that there isn't more than one PST file. I had wrongly assumed it was POP3.. By changing to POP3 you will be downloading the messages to your computer and deleting them off the server. This is the typical setup for most people, so should be OK, unless you need multiple computers to access the one mailbox or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
