Keeping two accounts separate

[David]

Hello,

I set up two accounts, one personal and the other for work. I want to be
able to keep each set of emails, sent and received, separate. After setting
up the accounts, I did a send/receive and all the emails from both accounts
all went into the same Inbox. In the instructions, I see that the two
accounts are supposed to be in separate folders - did I forget to do
something when I set everything up?

Thanks,
David D.

The easiest way to do what you want is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail.
It has separate folders for each account.

Five possibilities:

1. Use different Windows Users

2. Make new folders and make a message rule like this:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message is from the mail.fjsmjs.com account
Move it to the fjsmjs folder
and Stop processing more rules

3. Use Windows Live Mail which has separate folders for each account:

4. Buy WMIDs http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/Default.aspx

5. Enable the Account column in the Inbox.
