Multiple emails in the Local Folders

I just started using Windows Mail, and I seem to be having a problem. I
started adding all my email addresses, and before I knew it, two of my email
addresses were having all of their emails put in the same place, and it was
called "Local Folders" instead of the email accounts that I had set them up
as.

What is going on, and how can I separate my two email accounts into two,
distinctly named accounts?
 
One way to separate incoming emails is by using message rules.
You can set those up under Tools, Message Rules, Mail...
You will probably want to create two rules that look something like 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.
 
I guess that this would work as a last ditch effort, but I still want to have
each of the two emails listed as separate accounts. I have two other gmail
accounts, and they are listed just fine. Why did the others get sent to a
"local folders" account, and why aren't they listed as separate accounts, and
how can I separate the two so that I can have two inboxes, two sent folders,
etc...?
