Separate inboxes for separate e-mail accounts

[Adam]

I have a new e-mail account that is receiving spam +++. I
want to have a separate inbox for that e-mail account so I
don't have to see all this spam and edit it before I can
get to my new e-mails on my other accounts. Can separate
inboxes be configured for each account - how do you do
this.
How does one write generic spam filters on Outlook (I know
how to do this on Eudora).

In Tools->Message Rules->Mail..., I added a rule that
applies "Where the message is from the specified account"
and told it to "Move it to the specified folder". Now,
any messages I get from my other email account go directly
to the folder I chose. Hope that helps.

Not exactly. You can have separate profiles for each account, each profile
having its own Inbox, but you have to close and restart Outlook to switch
between profiles. Or you can create rules to move everything sent to the
spam-receiving account to a separate Personal Folders file (or simply a
separate folder within your current Personal Folders file)

One doesn't. Junk mail scanning in Outlook is not user-controllable. You
can have a personal "Blocked Senders" or "Junk Sender" (depending on Outlook
version) list. You can have rules with filter the incoming messages (but
those won't handle HTML well at all), you can adjust the sensitivity of
Outlook 2003's built-in junk mail filter (you didn't say which version of
Outlook you're using - hint, hint. Always include Outlook version in your
questions), or you can employ a third-party tool like SpamBayes
(http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/).
