How can i add multiple main accounts in my outlook i tried but i cant access rediffmail.com

I am assuming you know how to add a second account. Things you need to check, sometimes the username wants the domain name as well. For example, if your email address is [email protected], your username will be [email protected].
Another thing to look for is the ports rediffmail.com uses for incoming and outgoing email. Outlook will use the defaults, a lot of mail providers will not accept the defaults thus not allowing you to connect. Double check with rediffmail.com the ports you need to configure.

Forwarding emails using Outlook 2003 Professional

I use Outlook 2003 and sometimes have a similar problem with messages I forward.
It only happens though with messages I receive in an account that is not my default account and which configuration (SMTP server, security, etc.) is different from the default account's.
And it happens because Outlook forwards messages from the email account the message was received, not from the default email account.
So if you have different accounts configured in Outlook, you might want to check the SMTP servers and security configurations of email accounts other the than default account (which seems to be OK since you can send emails).
You can also direct Outlook to send your forward messages from your default account and not the account the resent message was addressed to.
Hope this helps.
