So I own a few different companies and have a bunch of exchange email accounts running on different servers. All my servers are running Exchange 2010. My computers are all running Windows 7 and Office 2010. I upgraded from Office 2007 to Office 2010 because everywhere I looked online (<joke> so I didn't waste my money </joke>) made it seem so simple to add multiple exchange accounts and then have all of them display in one profile to easily access all your mail, contacts, calendars, tasks, etc in one place.
So here's the deal: I can add multiple Exchange accounts from 1 server without a problem. I can also add Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail accounts as well without a problem (all of which can be done just as easily with 2007). All of these accounts show up just like all the screen shots and tutorials online when you search for multiple email accounts in Outlook 2010. The problem is that I when I go through and add an exchange account from a different server than my first exchange account/server, it shows up in File>Info>Account Information as being added and configured/connecting/etc; but the mailbox, calendar, contacts, tasks, etc do NOT show up for my 2nd Exchange server account. If I make my 2nd Exchange account/server the default, then it messes up the data file for my original exchange account on my 1st Excahnge account/server.
There is NOTHING anywhere online for this. I have looked at over 50 tutorials, forums, etc in the last 2 days with NOT success whatsoever.
Any ideas on this? Am I the only one who needs to sync multiple email exchange accounts from more than one server??? Isn't this what Microsoft marketed as being "one of the best new features of Outlook 2010"??? (along with the "cool ribbons")...
Now it looks like I've wasted a few hundred bucks and the last 2 days, just to downgrade back to Office 2007.
Post by SheelooIs it possible to connect to two different Exchange servers at the same time?
I have different email ids on two Exchange servers. I have two profiles and
can download mails from either one by selecting the correct profile.
Is there anyway I can open both at the same time? If not then is there an
easier way to switch between the profiles without closing Outlook and
starting it again and selecting the other profile?
I am using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP.
Post by Nikki PetersonOutlook Web Access may be a good option for you.
If you keep one account open in Outlook and keep an
eye on the other using the Outlook Web Access, then
you will be able to keep both open on the desktop at
the same time.

Post by neo [mvp outlook]Nikki didn't ask this but I will, are the two Exchange servers part of the
same organization? If yes, they you can add secondary mailboxes to you main
profile. Just select Tools > Email Accounts > View/Change account >
Advanced button > Advanced tab > add button to add the secondary exchange
accounts.
Post by SheelooNeo - They are part of different organizations.
Nikki - that is what I am currently doing.
Post by neo [mvp outlook]Then your option is what Nikki suggested or tie in the other via POP3/IMAP
since no version of Outlook supports multiple exchange accounts from
different orgs in the same profile.
