Own inbox for each POP account

Hi!

Is it possible for each pop account to have their own Inbox, Sent items,
etc.?

I'm trying to find out a way with no success.

Anyone know how?

Thanks.

Log in as a different user, or simply change identity, to use each pop

I think Anh-Tuan may perhaps want them all in the same identity, but to look
like IMAP accounts do, or Apple Mail does.

You can do it this way, at least for individual account Inbox, sent Items
and other folders you may add, but not for Drafts or Deleted Items or Junk:

For each account make a new top-level folder with the Name of the account.
Inside each make subfolders called Inbox, Sent Items and whatever other
subfolders you want. You can even make a category and color named for each
account and apply that to the new named folder and all its subfolders. Then
for each account make a rule that

If
Account is <Account 1>

Then
Move message to <Account 1:Inbox>


(just being the "Inbox" subfolder of Account 1 folder). Repeat for each
account. Then go to Tools/Rules/Outgoing, and make an Outgoing rule

If
Account is <Account 1>

Then
Move message to <Account 1:Sent Items>


(just being the "Sent Items" subfolder of Account 1 folder). Repeat for each
account.

So it is impossible to do so without the use of rules? Hmm... Well at least
it's better than nothing, though a whole bunch of rules will be required.

That's something Entourage and Outlook must add in their next release. Apple
Mail and Thunderbird can do that already.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Anh-Tuan.
