Then that is their loss. I don't really care about getting a TY for myself,
but a post back is helpful to the others that may be following a thread to
see it the suggestion worked.

100% agreed. But I prefer to KISS the first reply in a case like
this. If the OP posted back saying my suggestion worked, then I would
insert my opinion of two user created folders as you mention. baby

Why not two sub-folders of Local Folders i.e. AAInbox and ABInbox.
Just a thought.

First, create a local folder 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.

I have 2 pop3 email accounts, but I'd like to keep them separate in
Outlook Express. I'd like for all the emails from one account to
show up in one folder and all the emails from the other account to
show up in another folder. Is it possible to not have all the
emails show up in the Inbox folder? Thanks.

Thanks, Bruce. I finally got to try out your suggestion today. It worked
great, when I didn't use the "stop processing more rules." Pretty weird, huh?

It is not weird. It depends on other rules that you may have.
Is there a reason why you didn't add Stop processing more rules?
It is recommended that you add Stop processing.

It turns out that I did need to keep the stop processing more rules. I ended
up creating two Inboxes as sub-folders to Local Inbox. I called them Inbox1
and Inbox2. I set up rules for each of these 2 inboxes. Now it works
perfectly. My email goes into each of these 2 new inboxes and nothing goes
into the main Local Inbox.

The only thing that I can't figure out is how to retrieve my Hotmail Bulk
Mail using the pop3 format in outlook express. Any ideas?

Any ideas is easy. An good ideas is harder. :-)
The pop3 format only downloads from the server Inbox.
Is this a one time transfer or something that needs to happen on each
download?
