Open your messages folder,
press the blackberry action key,
using the track ball scroll all the way to the bottom of the menu,
now you should see the word "options" 3 menu items above you,
using the trackball, slowly roll the ball upward until the "options" menu item is highlighted,
depress the trackball, being careful not to put too much side to side or up and down pressure on it,
a new menu should pop up, listing only to options,
"General Option" will be highlighted by default, press the trackball straight down again, using the previous method,
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the menu,
"SMS and Email Inboxes" will be highlighted, select the the Blackberry action key, and select "change option",
Highlight the "Separate" menu option and and depress the trackball yet again,
Now press the Blackberry action key again, highlight "Save" and depress the trackball again,
Now you can press the Red "END" button, and you should now have two inboxes, messages and SMS

Hope that helps,
Chris

Are you sure you have the Blackberry 8800 or do you have the Blackberry 8100 or Pearl? Afaik all the 8800's shipped with the ability to have seperate sms and e-mail boxes. And for further clarification, it is not a matter of differnt colors for diferent accounts, it is actually a totaly seperate inbox on your desktop. Basically your mesages folder will no longer contain any sms or mms messages. If you have the Pearl, I can't help as I have not used one.

For the BlackBerry Pearl owners who are running an OS version older than 4.2.1.66 (IE 4.2.0.73, 4.2.0.71, etc...) you will not have this option if you go to messages/general options and scroll down. Seperating sms/mms folders on these OS versions are theme controlled.
