The default name for the store for POP3 accounts is always Personal Folders
(Outlook Today when it is the only store) Try right clicking on the
personal folders file and rename it.

After furious head scratching, Urbane Tiger asked:

| I have three mail accounts, an IMAP account, a Hotmail Free account
| and a POP account. I set them up in that order, over a period 3
| days..
|
| The IMAP account is my main account, its there I can see it and I can
| see its folders, mail comes in mail goes out and the folders synch.
|
| The Hotmail account is there I can see it with its standard folders
| (inbox, sent, deleted, junk), I don't keep any data on the Hotmail
| server, if I want to keep stuff then I file it in an IMAP folder or a
| local folder, mail comes ands goes (via the IMAP server's SMTP gate)
| from that account OK
|
| When I added my POP account, the one at my ISP, there is no POP
| account "header" like the IMAP and Hotmail accounts - its sort of
| got absorbed into that thing called Personal Folders.
|
| Is there someway I can make it appear as a regular account like the
| others, so I can see what mail is in its inbox, what mail has been
| sent from it, etc. I assume that if I had another POP account it
| would get amalgamated into the Personal Folders too.
|
| Mail flows to and from the POP account OK - I have a short retention
| period on the POP account.
