I am using Outlook 2002 (Office XP). My husband and I each have our own
email addresses. We do not want to log on to the computer as separate users.
We would just like each other's mail to go to separate folders in Outlook. I
have tried every rule I can think of to separate the incoming mail without
any luck.

Is there a way of accomplishing this?

Thanks,

Outlook 2002 supports rules based on the sending account. What rule did you
try? Are these really separate accounts or just aliases for the same
account?

I'm not sure if they are aliases or not. Both email accounts are set up with
different usernames and passwords to access the server. I have one account
set up under my name and one under my husbands name. Our ISP provider allows
four email accounts so I'm not sure if these are termed aliases.

Rules based on account might not work then. How did you set up the rule?
What happens?
Did you try a rule based upon certain words in the recipients address?
