Help Toggle Between E-mail Accounts with Built-in Email App?

RESOLVED: LINK







Original Post:
Now that I have the built-in e-mail client working (rather...now that I can tell the difference between my password and...well... 'not my password'), I'm wondering if there's a way to see other accounts in it besides the 'Default' one.

I have two e-mail accounts configured in the built-in e-mail utility; one is a personal account on my own internet domain connected via IMAP, and the other is my work account that is on an Exchange server, connected with the 'Corporate Sync' feature.

Whenever new mail comes in, I am able to use the notification drag-down feature at the top of the screen to see them, and when I click on them in that view, I can get to the other account.

However, aside from that, the only account I ever see when I click on the 'Email' icon on the home page (or anywhere else) is the one that I have set as the 'Default' one.

I will eventually have like at least 5 or 6 e-mail accounts configured on this thing, and it's going to drive me nuts if to wait till a new e-mail message comes in and then have to click through the drag-down notification feature to get to them.

Is there a simple way to toggle back and forth between viewing the default e-mail account and any of the other configured accounts?

I mean, I can go into 'Settings' and see them all, but that's not what I'm talking about. I want to be able to click over and see the inbox of any one of my different e-mail accounts any time I want.

I do already have a third-party e-mail app (K9) on the unit, and it works like that, but I'm just wondering if that functionality exists in the built-in one as well.

Any tips or tricks for getting the built-in Email app to work like this on the Bionic?
 
I use the native messaging app on my home screen. Opening that brings you to all your email accounts and SMS as well as a universal in box.

Yep, thanks.
I actually discovered this last night, but hadn't come in to say anything yet.
It's odd to me that the icon named 'Email' only opens the default account.
I'm fine now using the 'Messaging' icon though. :)
