Hi guys. I've just set up 2 additional email accounts. I've set it so I can see all emails from all accounts. Now is there a way to set up mail so Ican know which email account each email is for? I know I can go into each account separately, but ideally I'd like to be able to see this on the combined inbox.
Got a tip for us?

Press on your name in the "to" field. You should too your mail and a "recent" text next to the one used for this one
If Smart Addresses is turned off, can you see to the To: field in the email? Edited: oops, also check under the View menu that the To/From labels are enabled.
No, but you can create Smart Mailboxes if that might help. Wouldn't be great if there was color coding?
Colour coding would be brilliant. Surprised Apple hasn't done this.
And Smart Mailboxes? How do these work. Need to Google this
Oh wait a second, you can create rules for color coding in the Inbox based on the To: address (or any other criteria).
Here's the info about smart mailboxes:

Use Smart Mailboxes in Mail on Mac
In Mail on your Mac, use Smart Mailboxes to organize emails without actually moving the emails into other mailboxes.

OK, so first time creating a Mail rule? Go to Preferences > Rules > Add New and then select these options (and excuse the typo in the screenshot):
I am so sorry. It's on a Mac. I'd forgotten you were asking about iOS ...
You got my hopes all set high, then you let me know. haha! No worries dude.
So, is there a similar way on iOS?
Unfortunately, there is not. We can hope for the future though.
Thanks mate for the tip. But the last time I tried to use Outlook, I had doubles and triples of every email. Took me days to sort it all out.
