This is how to proceed (if you really want to do it, for which I cannot see a reason): In each account, you need to set an incoming catch-all filter that would filter the mails into the Inbox of your chosen account. A catch-all could be the presence of "e" in the headers. But once any message is filtered and arrives in the new Inbox, it will not be caught by Incoming filters of that account automatically. You will have to start the filters there manually. CW> Do I put a filter on each account, or can I do one that suites CW> all? Filters are only valid in the account in which they are created.

Why do you need to go via the "collection account"'s Inbox? Why do you have multiple email-adresses in the first place, if you mix them up again by filtering into the same account? ;-) CW> Also, when exactly is the 'Read Messages' filter triggered?
