Outlook, new mailbox config problem?

[Chiz]

(Outlook 2003, microsoft xp sp2)

So i got Outlook, and i have it configured correctly with hotmail, which is simple enough.

I have also set up additional accounts, both being gmail.

As with the previous hotmail account, when i completed the configuration, the mailbox was added to my folders.

But when i do this with either gmail accounts, i don't have any mailbox or i can't find any additional options to add these to my list.

The only option i do have is to add a new data option file (.pst's) but even when i do, i can't seem to configure these with the new mailboxes.

Anyone got any ideas?

GMAIL uses pop3 to download email and so all email will all go to your main inbox. You can set up rules to move emails to different folders if you want to.

I don't think you understand.

Within Outlook you can have multiple mailboxes, with different mail accounts.

I'm trying to have 3 mail accounts, which i can access with ease.

I was playing around and i managed to have 2, one hotmail and one gmail, but the configuration messed up and i had to start from the beginning.

Now, i can only view the hotmail mailbox and no additional mailboxes, even though i can send email from my 3 email accounts.

does this clear things up?

So you've accidentally deleted the data file?

In that case go to Email Account -> View or change existing e-mail accounts
And use the "New Outlook Data File" to create a data (.pst) file. Make sure it is then selected in the "Deliver new e-mail to the following location" box.
