How to Add a Profile to Outlook 2007

An Outlook 2007 profile contains information about your email account, login credentials and account settings. Profiles can store one or more email accounts, and users can switch between accounts while in Outlook. Outlook automatically creates a new profile the first time you run the email application, but creating multiple profiles can enable you to better organize different email accounts, such as separating work email from private email.

Instructions

1. Click "Start," then click "User Accounts and Family Safety." Click "Mail" to open the "Mail Setup" window for Outlook 2007.

2. Click "Show Profiles ... " Click "Add ... " Enter a name for the new profile into the "Profile Name" field.

3. Click "OK" to close the "New Profile" dialog box. Enter your email account information on the "Add New Account" window. Click "Next."

4. Click "Finish" to add the new email account and profile to Outlook 2007. Click the radio button next to "Prompt for a profile to be used," if you intend to use multiple profiles. Click the radio button next to "Always use this profile" if you intend to use only one profile.

5. Click "OK" to close the "Mail" window.
