Seperate Inboxes??

I have two different POP3 email addresses. I have two separate accounts set
up as Windows Mail wont let me set up different identities. Can I set up two
separate "Inboxes" to separate the two different accounts? Can I setup a sub
folder under my default account to accomplish this?

Create two subfolders in the inbox folder.

Use "Message Rules" to create two rules, one for each of the email
addresses you use. If you don't know how then see here:-

or use the "Help and Support" link in your start menu to search for
message rules.

No problem. Create two new folders, say 'A-Mail' and 'B-Mail'.
Then use the Rule Wizard to create two message rules similar to this:

1. Where the message is from the 'A' account
move it to the 'A-Mail' folder
and stop processing more rules.

2. Where the message is from the 'B' account
move it to the 'B-Mail' folder
and stop processing more rules.

Hope this helps.

Hi Thehb,

In addition to the other posts, you can use Windows Live Mail (WLM) instead of Windows Mail to. WLM supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each email account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus".
