Can 2 separate Outlook email accounts on the same machine keep the send and received history separate?

Question

I currently have 2 Outlook email accounts on my computer. While I can send and receive under both accounts the history is merged. All the sent emails show in my primary inbox for sent emails. Is there a way to keep them separate? Right now the 2nd accounts sent folder is empty but I need to have that history with that account.

Hi @Cindy Coppens ,

Thanks for posting in our Q&A forum.

In order to have items sent from different email accounts saved to a single folder, you could create a rule to accomplish that in each of the secondary <Sent Items> folders.

1.create a new rule for each of the applicable Exchange accounts you want this to apply to
2.select <Apply rule to messages I send>
3.select <through the specified account>
4.next, select <move a copy to the specified folder
