Gmail question

    I have 3 different email accounts which all come into my gmail account.

    However, I need to be able to quickly distinguish between the emails that I get(see which ones are from email x, email y, email z)

    Is there a way to do this?

    For instance, I get work emails and personal emails and I don't know which email the sender has used to contact me from.

    I have to manually click the info in the email to see which email address of mine they typed.

    Hopefully someone who knows gmail well enough will be able to explain to me if this can be done.

    Thanks.

    You could try Mozilla Thunderbird mail client and it will give a list, down the left side of the window, of each separate account registered to it and how many e-mails are in each inbox, sent an deleted.
    If you do use it though, stop the others coming to the main G-Mail first to stop duplication.
    All you have to do to set it up is give it each e-mail address and password and it does the rest for you - a very simple solution. On the downside is that it is open to anyone logged in to your desktop account.

    Settings => Filters, create a New filter for each email address "To", and assign a different label to each address

    If you're using POP3 to import your mail there's a check box to automatically label each email address.
    Settings > Accounts > Edit info
