HELP - Multiple Email Accounts - not being added to Folders List

[Guest]

my problem is - when I add an email account, it is not showing up in my
Folders List

I have an account with Charter.net (3 email accounts), I have a hotmail
account, I have an IMAP account to a web site I created

I wanted to add - (3 email account) from GVNI.com so that I can transfer my
messages from charter.net to gvni and then remove the charter.net accounts

I wanted to add another email account for a second web site that I have, I
am still un-sure if that one is IMAP or POP

I added the GVNI and the other web account as POP and it shows up in my
account list, but they don't show up in my Folders List, what could be the
problem?

do I have to set up multiple profiles for each account company? ie... gvni,
charter, web sites, hotmail etc... I really don't want to have to log in
every time I check a different email account.

do I have to create multiple data files? how about multiple groups (based on
where I recieve my email from)?

how do I set outlook to automaticly add these to the folders list? how do I
make it so that I don't have to create a rule to tell the computer which
account to send messages too? say if recieving a message to
(e-mail address removed) it goes there, if to (e-mail address removed) it goes there,
instead of to my defult email account?

thank you for your help

With HTTP and IMAP account, Outlook creates separate folder sets that act as
caches, since the messages stay on the server. You also have a "Personal
Folders" set (possibly called Outlook Today). These are the folders your
POP accoutn will use. No matter how many POP accounts you ass, they'll all
use the same folder set.

You can, but you don't need to do that.

do I have to create multiple data files? how about multiple groups
(based on where I recieve my email from)?

You can do that as well, using rules to sort the incoming mail. Multiple
send/receive groups won't affect this behavior, but they can control the
order of reception, since some Outlook versions will make simultaneous
connection to all the pop servers in a single send/receive group. If two
accounts point to the same server, you can get multiple copies of messages
downloaded.

Hotmail will always have folders separate from all other accounts, as will
an IMAP account, but, as I say, all POP accounts will share a folder set.

Oops. No matter how many POP accounts you add, they'll all use the same
folder set.
