How Do I Receive Email From Another Account in Microsoft Outlook?
by Kristen Waters, Demand MediaMicrosoft Outlook has the ability to handle more than one email account at a time. That means you can have various combinations of accounts, such as more than one account with your Internet Service Provider (ISP), a work account and a personal account, or an account with your ISP and one through Gmail, yet still use a single mail client to manage them.
