Configuring Outlook

One of the things I like most about Mozilla Thunderbird is that it lets you have a different Inbox for each email account you have, and downloads the messages straight to that inbox. Is there a way to configure MS Outlook to do this? I've been fooling around with it the past few days and still can't figure it out.

Yeah, that's part of it... but I meant in the left hand pane under "Personal Folders" where you see the Inbox, Trash, Sent Items, etc. I want to figure out a way to divide the "Personal Folder" up into seperate folders for each account, where each account would have its own Inbox, Trash, Sent Items, etc.

I have two accounts, a school account and a personal account.

The left side of my OE interface has Account1, Account2 and Local (personal) folders. The account folders are saved on the server's disk and the local folders are saved on my hard drive. Nothing i read or send or delete gets saved on my PC unless i move them into a personal folder.

If this isnt what youre talking about, then i dunno. Maybe you need to create new local folders so you can have one for each account.

the other way of doing it is to set up a fillter to send it to different folders. i had 2 accounts and just set a fitter so that if the "TO: xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx" it was sent to account 1 folder and if it was "TO: yyyyy@yyyyy.yyy" it was sent to account 2 folder. its the same way you fillter junk mail stright to your trash can.
