Eudora personalities

[Snowball]

My dad is still running Eudora 4.0 and is trying to deal with the junk mail problem. He has decided he wants to have two email addresses, one for family that only allows mail from pre-listed addresses through, and another email address for online order confirmations, etc. since thats likely to get junk mail.

Eudora allows one to have multiple 'personalities' (email accounts) but all of the mail from every account goes into the main Inbox. He wants to know if there is some way you can have multiple inboxes so he doesn't have to merge his junk email account and family email account.

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

(If not, its all the more reason to get him to move to OS X .)

It's easy with Eudora. Just make filters for what goes into any mailboxes you create.
Create as many new mailboxes as you need, name them anything you want. Open an email you want to go into a certain mailbox, go to the Special menu to Make Filter. The rest should be clear once the filter window opens.
