Different inboxes for multiple email accounts

A new and very cool new feature (it’s in my top 5 of best new Outlook 2007 features) in Outlook 2007 is that you can directly assign an account its own dedicated folder set. This dedicated folder set contains the following default folders;

* Deleted Items
* Inbox
* Junk E-mail
* Outbox
* Sent Items
* Search Folders

Because the account has now its own folder set, all the emails are automatically stored in the corresponding folders without the need of configuring anything else like for instance rules. So also your Sent Items are automatically separated by using this technique.

Setting it up is also very easy;

1. Open your Account Settings via Tools-> Account Settings…
2. Select the account which you want to redirect to its own folder set
3. Press “Change Folder”
4. Press “New Outlook Data File…”
5. Select “Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst)”
6. Give the pst-file a name and set the location where you want to store your pst-file.
I recommend to store the pst-file in a location that is also included in your backups. See this guide for more information on that.
I also recommend to name the pst-file after your account so .pst
See this blog post on how to lookup or change your account name.
7. In the new dialog that pops-up, give an Outlook display name to the newly created pst-file. Again, I recommend naming it after your account name but this time you can leave out “.pst” at the end
8. Press OK to close the naming dialog
9. Select the Inbox folder in the newly created pst-file
10. Press OK to close the New E-mail Delivery Location dialog
11. Repeat the steps to create additional folder sets for each account that you have
12. Press Close to close the Account Settings Dialog.

Cisco Command "Auto secure"

Cisco Command "Auto secure" In today's article, I'm going to quickly inform you about the Privileged EXEC command named "auto secure". Network administrators (like you) use the "auto secure" command to secure the management and forwarding planes of a router. Another way of saying it is, CCNAs use this command to secure a router by disabling common IP services which can be exploited by attackers to initiate network attacks. When the command is typed on a router, it takes the user (ccna) through a command line-interface (CLI) semi-interactive session (which is also known as the AutoSecure dialogue). Below is the command's syntax: auto secure [management | forwarding] [no-interact | full] [ntp | login | ssh | firewall | tcp-intercept] As you can see, the command can use several "optional" keywords: management - This (optional) keyword is used to only secure the management plane of a router. forwarding - This (optional) keyword is used to...

The Seven Habits

The Seven Habits Habit 1: Be Proactive - Changes starts form within; highly effective people make the decisions to improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than simply reacting to external forces. Habit 2: Begin with the end with mind. - Develop a principle– centered personal mission statement into long- term goals based on personal principle. Habit 3: Put first thing first. - Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each other. Habit 4: Think win / win - Seek agreements and relationships that are mutually beneficial. In cases where a win / win deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make “no deal”, may be the best alternative. In developing the organizational culture, be sure to reward win / win behavior among employees and avoid inadvertently rewarding win / lose behavior. Habi...
