Because of all the spam i get, i've decided to create an additional email
account through my isp (they give me up to 5 email accounts). I don't
really want to remove the old email address from my outlook email accounts
right away as i will still continue to get some email that i need.

The problem is email for both accounts just goes to the "inbox" and i can't
easily distinguish between old stuff and new stuff like i wanted. I also
use outlook for my hotmail account and was hoping that it would create
another "section" in outlook for the new account. In other words, i was
hoping to have 2 separate inboxes for each of my email accounts (3 if you
include hotmail).

What is the best way to do this? My only thought is i could create an email
filter that moves all email sent to the old address to a folder called
"inbox-old" and all new email to "inbox-new". I guess this would work,
though i haven't tried it yet.

Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

You create seperate Folders, off the Inbox, then create rules to move msgs
to the relevent Folders
