Multiple Inboxes

I have 2 pop3 email accounts, but I'd like to keep them separate in Outlook
Express. I'd like for all the emails from one account to show up in one
folder and all the emails from the other account to show up in another
folder. Is it possible to not have all the emails show up in the Inbox
folder? Thanks.

First, create a local folder to be used as a second Inbox and name it
anything you want. (Inbox-2)? Use this for one of the accounts, and the
default Inbox for the other.

Then create a message rule.

Where the message is from the specified account.
Move it to the specified folder & Stop processing more rules.
Click on: Specified Account and enter the account name for the second Inbox.
Click on: Specified Folder and select the folder you created.
Name the rule.

Move this rule to the top of the rules list and the incoming messages will
be separated into their respective folders.

Why not two sub-folders of Local Folders i.e. AAInbox and ABInbox. Just
a thought.

100% agreed. But I prefer to KISS the first reply in a case like this. If
the OP posted back saying my suggestion worked, then I would insert my
opinion of two user created folders as you mention. baby steps

Then that is their loss. I don't really care about getting a TY for myself,
but a post back is helpful to the others that may be following a thread to
see it the suggestion worked.

Thanks, Bruce. I finally got to try out your suggestion today. It worked
great, when I didn't use the "stop processing more rules." Pretty weird, huh?

You're welcome. Did you move this rule to the very top of the list?

It is not weird. It depends on other rules that you may have.
Is there a reason why you didn't add Stop processing more rules?
It is recommended that you add Stop processing.

It turns out that I did need to keep the stop processing more rules. I ended
up creating two Inboxes as sub-folders to Local Inbox. I called them Inbox1
and Inbox2. I set up rules for each of these 2 inboxes. Now it works
perfectly. My email goes into each of these 2 new inboxes and nothing goes
into the main Local Inbox.

The only thing that I can't figure out is how to retrieve my Hotmail Bulk
Mail using the pop3 format in outlook express. Any ideas?
