Separate incoming pop3 e-mail accounts into separate folders!!!!!

This is more of a comment than a question. I honestly think that the way
incoming mail coming from separate pop3 e-mail addresses is handled is
completely rediculous.

There is NO way that it has to be this complicated.

There should simply be a MAIN folder associated with that account NAMED
after that account. This would make EVERYTHING a whole lot less complicated
and also allow for MANY more user options - you know what I mean.

The bottom line is that if I have to sift through the MANY e-mails I get
from MANY different accounts I am simply NOT going to use your product. Fair
enough I am able to automatically direct different e-mails to different
folders using the "Wizard" but honestly how am I supposed to know that if I
am a NEW user???? It's far too complicated for it's own good.

On top of that, now that you've set up the wizard to automatically separate
the E-mails into separate folders all the Junk mail is out of control and
going straight into my main folders!!!??

This kind of thing will NOT gain you market share.

Thanks for listening,

Some people appreciate having all their mail in one set of folders. I like
not having to think about where a particular item came from.
 
Maybe so but for those of us that don't. You can't categorize all E-mail
users into one big pot. It's like saying that everyone like grunge metal
music.

Outlook users should have the options of doing that and by all means start
the program out with the very simplest of options but make sure the other
functions are available.

Imagine my situation. I've got mail coming from two seperate business, one
in which requires me to be webmaster for five different websites and another
that simply gets a large volume of E-mails. On top of all that, I've got a
personal E-mail account. I would not only like to know where they came from
but I would like to handle the business seperately!
 
Make a separate Outlook profile for each POP3 account. If you were using OE
instead, you'd have to make separate Identities; otherwise, it would behave
just like Outlook and dump everything into a common Inbox.

Sean,
I set up rules that move incoming messages to separate folders based on the
account it came in on.

To do this:
1) Select Tools – Rules and Alerts
2) New Rule
3) Start from a blank rule
4) Check messages when they arrive
5) Through the specified account
6) In step 2 click on specified account and select the account
7) Click Next
8) Move it to specified folder
9) In step 2 click specified and specify the folder you want the message
moved to
10) Click Next
11) Enter any exceptions you want, probably none
12) Click Next
13) Give it a name
14) Make sure Turn on this rule is selected
15) Click Finish

Hope this helps
Martin
