For your information: you may have more than one email address, you may have an email with the name showing as "my email" with email address of "my-main-email@icisp.net.au" and another one showing the same name "my email" but with email address of "my-2nd-email@icisp.net.au"  they are 2 different email addresses but all the emails will all come into the main email addresses inbox.
Sometimes this makes it very hard for people to tell which email has come.

Do you have more than one email address and you would like to separate them so you can see which ones are being sent to your different addresses instead of them all coming into your main inbox and not being able to tell which ones are which, well you can easily setup a new folder for all of your different email addresses.

Here's How.........

Open Outlook Express

Click on the "Local Folders" label, right click and then select "New Folder" now type in a name for the folder, for now we will call it email2 (you can call it whatever you like.)
click on the new folder you just made (it should already be highlighted/selected).

Next click on the "tools link at the top of the page, then click on the "Message Rules" name then on the "Mail" name

When the new screen pops up click on the "new" button

Now we are going to tell the program that any emails that come in for your other (2nd) email address to send the emails to the new folder you made.

section 1 - Put a tick in the "Where the To line contains people"
section 2 - Put a tick in the "Copy it to the specified folder

section 3 - click the blue  contains people link on the
"Where the To line contains people" line

type in your 2nd email address
example: my-2nd-email@icisp.net.au (this would be your other email address)

section 3 continued - now click the specified  blue link on where it says
"Copy it to the specified folder" line, now select the new folder you made a minute ago.
When you have done this click on the "ok" button and you are done.

Any emails coming in now will be automatically sent to the different folders.
Your main email address will go to your "Inbox" your other email address will now go to your new folder.

To create an email using your other email address, create a new email, click on the arrow at the end of where it says "From:" this will drop down a box where you can select the other email address.

(This can be modified to create folders for other emails you get from friends, instead of selecting "Where the To line contains people" select "Where the From line contains people")
