I have added a second e-mail account to my Outlook 2007 program. How do I set up a way to direct new e-mails to this account to a separate folder on my Inbox, so I can separate e-mail streams?
One simple way is to first create a new folder under your main Inbox directory, e.g., Inbox/MySecondEmailInbox. Do this by right-clicking on the Inbox folder along the left Mail Folders display panel, then selecting New Folder. Name it whatever you wish. Then go up to the file menu, and select tools/account settings. In the new window that opens, select the first tab (e-mail), select the e-mail account you want to segregate, and select change folder at the bottom. Expand the personal folders directory, and find the new folder name you just created. Click OK, and close up the rest of the open windows. Your settings are ready to go! Send yourself a test message to the new e-mail address and verify that it is now flowing into that new folder.
I sometimes need to e-mail large Photoshop files or photographs to my family, but my e-mail account limits me to 2MB files. What are some ways around this?
I would check with your provider to see if they can increase the limits for your account. Providers such as Gmail now have significant file size and e-mail limits of around 20MB. Another possible way is to create a free account on www.YouSendIt.com. There you can attach files less than 100MB and send them along to multiple folks. They also have several paid options for delivery.
