How do I stop email from all accounts coming to the primary inbox?

[amac44]

I set up 3 separate accounts (dare I say, "like they were in
Thunderbird"), but what is happening is any messages sent to any of
the 3 accounts appears in the inbox of the primary (default) account
(and not in the other inboxes). How do I make these messages route to
where I want them? I shouldn't need a "rule" for this, should I?

I tried going to Tools->Account Settings, click the Data Files tab,
and select one of my secondary accounts, I see towards the bottom of
the window, "Selected e-mail account delivers new e-mail messages to
the following location", and the indicated folder is where I *want* it
to go. But it's not going there. Is there something else I need to
do?
