Setting Up POP or IMAP for your Microsoft Email Address
Here's the lowdown: You can retrive email from several Microsoft Email addresses in Outlook. Only one email address can be configured to use Exchange, however. Set up additional email addresses as POP or IMAP accounts.
If you have multiple Exchange email addresses, you may want to add your second and subsequent addresses as POP or IMAP addresses in our Outlook 2007 client. This allows you to retrieve email from a remote server through your email client for multiple Exchange addresses. You can access the email messages in your email account by configuring your email client with our POP or IMAP settings.
