Multiple inboxes for multiple accounts

In Outlook Express, I was able to have different inboxes under different
folders for multiple email accounts. For example, I want my yahoo.com emails
and sbcglobal.net emails placed into different inboxes. I can't find any
options under Tools/Accounts to specify this, and when I create a new folder,
my only choice of where to place the new folder is under Local Folder.

I'm using Windows Mail version 6.0 running on a new Vista machine.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Set up a message rule so that incoming mail to the email address:-

yourname@newsgroup

is diverted to the folder that you want it sent to.

How to set up message rules - see here:-

Re: Multiple inboxes for multiple accounts

Create the address-specific folders then create Message Rules to filter
incoming messages to the appropriate folder.

RE: Multiple inboxes for multiple accounts

I've downloaded and started to use Widnows Live Mail, and it allows me to
have separate folders for each of my email accounts. Thanks to all of you
for your suggestions!
