SUMMARY
Some users have multiple e-mail accounts on the same Microsoft Exchange
Server. Although you can only have one service in your Microsoft Exchange
Server profile, it is possible to access all of your accounts with
Microsoft Outlook 2000 without having to log on separately to each account.
This article describes how to set up Outlook to access two Microsoft
Exchange mailboxes from one profile.

steps to be able to log on to account A, and have access to the mailbox
for account B:

Server mailbox for account B. You may need to log on to the network as
the user of account B for proper validation.
