Label Email Accounts

I have 3 email accounts (Hotmail, Gmail and work). The stock email icons in the email page do not have labels and I have not discovered a way to label them. They just appear as little yellow envelopes. Is there a way to label them so that I don't have to simply remember which is which?

When you click on each one the little envelope that pops up tells you which is which. I've just been looking at that as I have 4 accounts including picture mail currently there. I'd be interested to know if you find something better.

The label is on the bottom left of the large envelope that holds the message. See the examples below...

When you're setting up a new email, you can choose to name it whatever you want. On the second step, there's an option called "Account Display Name". Naming it something completely different than the actual account won't affect your login. I think the onscreen keyboard hides it though so, just scroll down.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can rename an email account after you've set it up. Just delete, set up again and you're all set.

That's not the issue. I know that after you click on a mail folder you can read what it is. But when you slide over to messages, you only see 4 unlabled icons on the right of the screen and you can see how many messages are in each one but there is no lable visible.

You should see the new server I just got. Me thinks you would likey...

Dell PowerEdge 2950 (2U) rackmount with two 3.4 Ghz Quad Core CPUs, 8 GB or RAM, one 73 GB 15K RPM (hot swap) SCSI drive for the primary and three 300 GB 15K RPM (hot swap) SCSI drives (RAID, duh) for secondary drives.

And this is just for recording our phone calls from our IP phone system. Plus it backs up to my 2 TB NAS server on a monthly basis. As it stands I will be able to store 8 years of phone recordings without having to add more storage...

I.... I....

just made a mess over my keyboard.

And how often does it back up? Because with RAID-0 running on 3 drives, you are tempting fate with the odds of... you know
