Is it possible to group your Email accounts in Windows Live Mail?

I use a lot of email addresses in Windows Live Mail.

I am hoping to add more and I do not want to have to search through, maybe
30+ Email accounts to find the one I want to look in.

I was wondering is it possible, or is there any way, that you can organise
your Email accounts in the side bar, into groups.

Example:
Be able to create a group called "Work Email addresses", for all the
addresses you may use for work.

Note: I am NOT talking about contacts; I am talking about the accounts you
possess yourself.

No, that is not possible.
I solved that problem by doing all my reading in the Quick view folders.

It depends on what sort of accounts they are. Your options are
limited with HTTP and IMAP accounts, but for POP accounts you can
easily use rules to consolidate all incoming messages into folders
under one of them. Sent items and Drafts you'll have to deal with
manually, because they will be initially stored in the appropriate
folder under the account they belong to. Another useful trick is to
give the accounts names that sort the way you want them to, and you
can shuffle them up and down the Folder pane as required. Collapse
the ones you don't need to access daily, and/or use the Compact view
to reveal only the folders you're interested in.
