How to I separate two accounts in Mail?

I've been using Mail with my .mac account, and this morning tried adding my hotmail and gmail accounts to it. Unfortunately, Mail pulled messages from all three accounts and dumped it into one inbox. Is there a way for me to separate it - so that I have one inbox for one account, another inbox for another account?

I want to keep the mailboxes separate because I use them for different things (work vs home vs general internet shopping, junk mail, etc.), and don't want to miss a work message while mass-deleting junk mail, for example.

thanks,
Mark

I have the problem that i want two accounts in one mailbox (inbox) and the other one for work. How would I fullfill that dream...?
 
Make a "smart mailbox" for your work account then!

Choose Mailbox > Smart Mailbox from the menu at the top of the screen. You will then be able to specify what rules you want to filter your work email out into that box.

Smart Mailboxes RULE.
