I prefer these messages completely separate. Not in folders in the same account; each account already has multiple folders.
I WANT the three, very separate, identities. This prevents, among other things, mixing of the address books for each, which NEED to be kept very separate, due to their different purposes. I need to keep separate calendars, tasks, projects, and address books for each identity. These are not "just" separate e-mail addresses; they are separate functions in my life. The same holds true for the other members of my family, whom I listed in my original message. And I WANT (read: NEED!) to know which one I am in, at any given time.
