[nfbcs] Question on Outlook and multiple accounts

[Jim]

Howdy!

 

I've found that I've needed to get a gmail account as a secondary email
address for certain things.  I was told that I could use Outlook to use both
email addresses in the same instance or at the same time.  Before, I had set
up two separate profiles.one for Earthlink and one for Gmail.

 

So, I went to my earthlink account (my primary email account) and I went to
the tools menu and went to account options.  I went to "New Account", and I
added my gmail account.  When it added the account and I was done, I noticed
there weren't any separate folders or anything.  I sent a test message, and
only when I hit reply, did it tell me it would be sent from my gmail
account.

So, have I done something wrong, or is everything correct so far?

 

Also, what if I wanted to send a brand new message from my gmail account
rather than earthlink?  How do I go about going between the accounts on the
same Outlook setting?

 

Does my question make sense?

 

Thanks.

Jim
