That you use a filter already suggests that there is an indication in the header by which you can seperate them automatically.

If you have set up two accounts, the mails are already seperated in TB. You just define the different templates.

This is where it gets tricky, because TB allows "regular check" but not "regular send". I have set my accounts to "regular check" and "combined". If you are comfortable with "immediate send", then use that.

No, you can use folder templates. RA> Using common folders appear to offer no benefit over using accounts. Agreed. RA> Does anyone else have a similar set up? If so, how do you arrange it? My suggestion would be to use different email addresses, of course. Other than that, if you filter into different folders, you can use folder templates. As for outgoing mail, I don't have a single outgoing filter in the office, but I BCC to myself and use incoming filters that trigger on presence in headers. -- Cheers, Thomas.
