Separate Mailbox View - Windows Live Mail
There are many different options out there for a Local Email GUI, and most of them have one thing in common. You can’t determine which mail came from which account with a causal glance. Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, and Trash folders are combined, leaving you to figure out which account they came from. If you have multiple pop mail accounts, Windows Live Mail Desktop may be a good choice. Each mail account added will have a separate Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash Folder, with the unread contents of each folder marked with a (#). There are combined “Unread e-mail”, “Unread from contacts”, and “Unread feeds” views, if you only want to see unread email or feeds from all accounts in one view. Once email is marked as “read”, the email is now listed in the separate account inbox. That’s really good for automatic sorting by account. Replies automatically change to that account. If you get a @live.com email account, you can share contacts between the local GUI and web email at work.
Windows Live Mail Desktop can be installed using the Windows Live Installer. Be sure to uncheck the options you don’t want prior to downloading the executable, or you’ll get other apps you don’t want or need. Updates are bundled into standard Microsoft Update.
