I have set up three individual email accounts in OE6, but the problem is that
instead of the mail going to the specific inbox, all mail is going to the
main idenity. how do I fix this problem so that each email account is
receiving its own mail?

If they are all sharing the same instance of OE, you need to use Message
Rules to divert them.

First, create a local folder(s) to be used as a second Inbox and name it
anything you want. (Inbox-2)? Use this for one of the accounts, and the
default Inbox for the other.

Then create a message rule.

Where the message is from the specified account.
Move it to the specified folder & Stop processing more rules.
Click on: Specified Account and enter the account name for the second Inbox.
Click on: Specified Folder and select the folder you created.
Name the rule.

Move this rule to the top of the rules list and the incoming messages will
be separated into their respective folders.

Do I do this for each of the three accounts? And what do I name the rule?

Yes, you can. You can name each rule whatever you want.

Did you setup each account in a separate Identity?
Does each account have a separate password?
