Help Gmail. Yahoo. Icons

Hi--quick question. I got a Droid Incredible 2 today, but I think the following is a general android question.

I have the gmail account set up on my Droid as my main email address. However, I have two yahoo accounts and two other (not as used) gmail accounts that I want to put on my droid as well.

Now I know I could go to the "mail" icon and add various accounts--and then to view the inboxes I press that down arrow key and simply click on the inbox (i.e. the email address) that I want to use, etc. It's great.

HOWEVER, I'd love to have a separate icon for each of my yahoo addresses (much like what I had on my previous blackberry) as well as an icon for my lesser used gmail accounts.
Is that possible?

Thanks!
 
I'm not sure, but I believe it should be possible.

I use K-9 mail which I believe allows me to create shortcuts to specific mail folders on the desktop. My Evo is charging in the other room so I can't confirm 100% right now.

With Gmail you should be able to create a shortcut to the Gmail account or folder with no issues.
 
Easy to find out. Long press on the home screen and see if you can create the shortcuts to specific accounts. If it's possible, you'll see the option listed.
