Outlook 2000

Two questions.

1) Is there an autocomplete for composing messages in Outlook 2000? For example, if a user types ab for abcdefg@yahoo.com, can the cde... finish like IE? Or is autocomplete really an IE thing. If not (or answer too complicated), can short nicknames be used to speed up composing messages?

2) How does a user with two accounts in Outlook 2000 (1 optimum online, 1 company name), split the inboxes so his username@optonline.com messages go to one folder and username@company.com go to another folder? Can the user compose messages with both accounts?

Thanks

I don't know about an autocomplete if there is one, but it is easy to have the inbox e-mail move to different folders depending on which account it was sent to. Go to organize in your outlook and create a rule. Tell the rule to move new messages sent to "name1" to "folder1" and press create then do it again for "name2" and "folder2".
As far as composing e-mail for each account, just write the e-mail as normal and then click on options and select which account you want it mailed out with.
Hopethis helps, not really that hard.

Outlook 2002/XP does all these easily. Autocomplete is automatically enabled, and support for multiple accounts is much better. If you have to work with 2000, you can use either Contacts or a Personal Address Book file to store full addresses. Then under Tools | Services | Addressing tab, add in whichever you use as an addressbook to search. After you've done that, when you type the first few letters, you can tab to the next line and it will resolve them. If it doesn't resolve automatically, Tools | Options has a setting, I believe on the Sending tab, to Automatically Check Names.
