Separate Inboxes

How do you setup 2 separate inboxes for 2 accounts? Right now they all go
to the same inbox. I want to have it similar to Apple's Mail app.

Thanks

There are a couple workarounds that I can think of off the top of my head.

First, you could enable "enable online access (shows account in folder
list)" in the account settings, under the "options" tab. The drawback would
be you probably have to leave the messages on the server unless you delete
them from Entourage. This will show that account as a subfolder of "Folders
on my computer."

Second, you could create individual inboxes for each account, as subfolders
of the inbox (i.e. Account A inbox, and Account B inbox), and then create a
couple rules. One to move all messages containing account A as a recipient
to the Account A inbox, and the same for Account B, but to the Account B
inbox.

A third option is to use Custom views to view the mail in the main Inbox
that is from each specific account. Or you could even use grouping in the
Inbox (in Entourage 2004) to group by account.

How does one go about setting up a second Inbox for an additional account?

Just create a new folder - it's the rules that make it act like an inbox.
