You can set it up that way ... or you can set it up so that each account

If you want each account to have it's own inbox, make sure you UNCHECK
the "Use Global Inbox" option when setting up the account.

Two ways ... the default is determined by whichever account is selected
in the tree view on the left side ... alternatively you can select the
sending address from a combo box in the message composition dialog.
