Is it possible to set up multiple inboxes in outlook express.

Basically I have multiple pop3 accounts already set up, but they all go into the same Inbox folder.

How can you set each one to a separate inbox folder?

create new folders by right clicking "personal folders" -> new folder....give them appropriate names.

goto tools -> account settings. click appropriate account, and click the "change folder" button bottom left and change the delivery location to one of the folders you made.

hope this helps, works this way in outlook 2007, presume its either the same or very similar in previous versions.

EDIT: ACK! sorry didnt see you were using outlook express....its a pile of cack, so might not be able to, if you cant find similar to what i describe i really suggest using outlook from the office pack instead if poss.

Just do what congax suggested. Create new folders within the inbox and then just create a filter rule for each email account (based on the "To:" address). No need to install anything else! =)
