Title: Connecting to two different Exchange servers
Post by: Rob on August 28, 2007, 18:56:54 PM
I already have an Exchange account set up in Outlook (2007). I need to connect to another one on a different server. Can anyone recommend an (free) application to do this?

Should have mentioned I need to have them both open at the same time.

Cant have two instances of Outlook with different profiles can you?

outlook and outlook web access.

thing is, outlook will always check that the currently signed on user has permission over the mailbox youre trying to open. if not is goodnight vienna.

so you need to use a method that doesnt contain the ability to provide credentials and automatically log on. OWA is the closest tool for doing this.

just realised that what ive written abouve will not actually stop you running two outlooks. investigate the startup switched for outlook, one of them allows you to force a profile, so two shortcuts might do the job...
