Want to add second email to Outlook for business use

I want to get a second email acct for a business I want to try. How do people manage 2 email accts from within the same Outlook? What do other people do and how to go about doing this for like using for a business? Is there a website, PDF, etc body of knowledge that shows best practices for handling Outlook emails and small bus accounting, setting up new business infrastructure and PC setup? Do I have to do something with profiles and where is there info on how to do that for setting up a business email account and my personal email acct on same PC? And what about data files for the new business. I don’t want them co-mingled with my regular personal pictures, Craigslist, family, etc. folders.

Hope above not confusing for you. Any and all reply info very much appreciated. New to site—first post.

To add a second email account to Outlook for business use, you can follow these steps:
  1. Open Outlook and go to the "File" tab in the top left corner.
  2. Click on "Add Account" under the "Account Information" section.
  3. In the "Add Account" window, enter your email address and click "Connect".
  4. If you are prompted to select the account type, choose "Exchange" or "Office 365" depending on the type of account you have.
  5. Enter your password and click "OK".
  6. Outlook will now attempt to set up your account automatically. If it is successful, you will see a confirmation message. If it is not successful, you may need to enter additional information such as server and port numbers.
  7. Once the account is set up, you will be able to access it by clicking on the account name in the left-hand sidebar of Outlook.
  8. To switch between accounts, simply click on the account name you want to access.
Repeat the steps above for each additional email account you want to add to Outlook. You can have multiple accounts in Outlook and easily switch between them.

Greetings,
Peter

And then, you can also setup a Folder called something like "Business Emails". You can setup a Rule that directs all appropriate emails there.

I just add my business accounts to my existing Profile. That is what most people do.

I think a separate Profile would be like a whole separate user. It sounds good but in practice not very productive because you would be constantly switching Profiles. I happen to think one of the advantages of Outlook is to be able to do both Personal and Business.

And not really suggesting it, but remember that you can always just use a separate program for personal (or just keep it online ie web-based). There is also the email client in Windows.

Agree, it is more convenient to keep several business accounts on one profile.

+1000. We used to need to do this with multiple Exchange accounts and it was a PITA.

Outlook does a good job at keeping the accounts separate - but if its a problem, use a different app for personal. Windows Mail, Outlook Pre (pre = beta) or eM client are all good mail apps.
