Change the name of the Folders on My Computer

When I create a POP3 account in Entourage, my mail goes into the folder
- Folders On My Computer. Is there a way to either change the name of
Folders on My Computer or specifiy a name of the POP3 account?

When I create a IMAP account in Entourage, I am able to change the name
of the folder to whatever I specifiy, but again when I create a POP3
account I am unable to change the name of the folders to what I would
like to name the folders.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank You,

Here is a bit more information on the problem I am having. Again any
ideas on how to correct this?

When I set up an exchange or IMAP account in Entourage, it sets up a
new Mailbox/Inbox that I can name. When I set up a POP, it seems to
just go to my default inbox, which I cannot name. Any suggestions on
how to set up a separate POP mailbox?

Hi,
no, that can't be done. Since it's a POP account, your messages are stored
locally, as opposed to on the server with IMAP accounts. If you were to add
another POP account, its messages would be added to the local folders, too.
Entourage simply places POP messages in this group of folders, and it
prevents you from renaming them. If you really wanted to, you could create a
custom folder with a specific name and have a rule move your messages in
there, but if you only have one POP account, that's probably not worth the
trouble.
