how to creat separate INBOXES in Eudora?
When I bought Eudora Pro 4.2, I thought I could use the filtering function to create individual Inboxes for my handful of email accounts. I'm not finding how to do this, although I did figure out how to make Personalities. When I check mail, though, mail from each of my accounts all ends up in the one Inbox. One person suggested that there may not be a way. He actually suggested using several individual copies of Eudora Light to accomplish this. Can I do it in Eudora Pro 4.2, and if so, how?

Thank you, nettrom. I want to make sure I understand what you're saying. First, I need to create a new mailbox. Second, I need to create a new filter to get incoming mail to end up in that new mailbox instead of lumped into the Inbox with everything else? Is this process unrelated to the 'Personalities' I've already created?

Thank you, nettrom. I was able to set this up properly. The filtering process was a little complex with all this boolean stuff. And the 'transfer' command turned out to be the key I was just plain missing.
the filtering setup is slightly difficult if you're not familiar with boolean logic and mail headers, something most people aren't. I read through the help file on filter setup, and it doesn't explain the logic behind it very much. a lot more information about the different actions (I'm using a sponsored Eudora 4.3).
glad to hear you got it working though. feel free to drop a comment if there's something more you need help with.

next you'll have to create a filter that'll dump the mail in the new mailbox you created. choose "Tools, Filters". up comes the filter settings. click "New" and you'll get a new filter. from there you can choose what headers it should match (probably To: in your case) and then choose the proper actions. next time you check your mail the filter should apply. if not, try restarting Eudora.
