Good Evening and Hello!



I am learning Outlook slowly. I used OE for a while, went to Eudora (roughly 1988) for at the time Outlook behaved like "a drunken elephant", but now having worked with it for almost a year at my employer's, it seems that i may start having reasons to prefer it to my now long-time favorite, Thunderbird.

What I am questioning is just how best to keep my work laundry (all functions i would use within Outlook) separate from my personal. It seems to me if i simply create another account in the same tree i am liable to get things mixed up, and also if i do so i might run into someone at work overlooking some personal material - nothing that interesting, i just don't care to mix the two worlds.

Can two instances of Outlook be separately managed, one with the employer accounts and the other with the personal, so if i open one i can be rather certain it won't bring up info from the other?

Can anyone else out there that share my concerns advise on how they are managing the situation, even if it is having everything combined, and perhaps any best practices & caveats?

Thank-you very much-
