Outlook – Adding multiple Exchange accounts under one profile in Outlook 2010 or 2013

exchangemicrosoft-outlook-2010microsoft-outlook-2013

I work for two companies, each having own Exchange Server. I want to configure my Outlook for both email accounts. I am not able to add both accounts under the same profile in Outlook 2010, nor 2013. I found some how-to articles, each involving Office Configuration Tool. However, my installation does not support this tool. I have Office 2010 Home and Business, and Office 2013 Preview click-to-run.

Is there another way?

P.S. Having two different profiles, one for each Exchange account, is inconvenient. I cannot run two instances of Outlook at the same time and switching all the time is tedious.

Best Answer

Additional Exchange accounts can be added for both Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 via the Mail applet in control panel:

Click the E-Mail Accounts... button, then under the E-mail tab click New:

Proceed through the wizard to add the new account. More details can be found on the Outlook Blog

UPDATE:

Not possible, see the following from MS Help text on the install screen:

    Outlook: Some things to consider
Before you install Outlook, you must remove any earlier version of Outlook, because two versions of Outlook can’t be on the same computer. If you want to keep an earlier version of Outlook, you must choose on the Installation Options tab to not install Microsoft Outlook 2013.

If you choose not to install Outlook 2013, the version of Outlook you kept won’t use Microsoft Word as its email editor. You’ll use the Outlook email editor instead and not be able to use the features in the Word email editor.

UPDATE DUE TO COMMENT:

In your position I would pick myself up a copy of Virtual PC or VMware and load Windows w/ a Copy of the old or new Outlook on it, depending on which one you only needed for testing.
