As you have found out, mailboxes in Exchange are tied to users in a one to one relationship, so you can't have multiple mailboxes per user account.

The way most people get round this is to create additional mailboxes(and users) and give the original user full permissions to this mailbox, including being able to send as that user. You can also setup forwarding to the original mailbox if you require.

You cannot create 2 separate mailboxes using the same Active Directory account. You would need to create a new user as you have already experienced this.

What are you trying to accomplish multiple email addresses for 1 user? If so you can modify the mailbox of the individual and add an Alias to the mailbox, so that it will accept mail from multiple addresses (which ever ones are present on the mailbox).

First of all y do you want two mailboxes for one user account?

there are two options :-

1 )  You can create secondary SMTP address

2) Give permission on mailbox

cjoego .. you have a lot of good advice. I think we need to know exactly what you are trying to achieve and why, to give you the best advice.

Why 2 mailboxes? It is to organize email? Is it just to have different email addresses?

Do they need to send from the second?
Create a shared mailbox and give him full mailbox access to that shared mailbox.

By this way, you can have them accessible at one shot with the same login.
Open outlook,
1. Create first mailbox as usual like Create profile and add email account.
2. Once you are done with creating first mail box again go with add new mail account.(Open Account settings and click on new).
3.Select "E-mail Account" radio button and click Next.
4. In the next windows enter required details like Name, Email address and password, Click next and Finish.
 5. Second mailbox will be added to your outlook client.

No Point Splits considering i had mentioned the solution first? More detail was provided but ultimately it was repeated.

Just sayin.
